Kids To Help Kids With Participation In Annual “Cure” Hunt
Thursday, October 15, 2009 | 04:31am
FAYETTEVILLE--- Adult mentors and excited young hunters will gather Oct. 30-31 in Lincoln County to once again hold a fundraising hunt to benefit children that most of the gathering sportsmen have never met, yet all have a desire to help.
Set for the weekend of the statewide youth deer hunt, the annual Kids Hunting For a Cure will raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Hospital and Russel Hill Cancer Foundation.
The Matt Malone Memorial Chapter is sponsoring the Lincoln County Hunt.
Kids Hunting For a Cure is a non-profit organization “dedicated” to helping fund the development for cancer research and childhood diseases.
An auction that includes numerous products for sportsmen, young hunters meeting their mentor/guides, and an evening meal will be among attractions that begin the Friday-Saturday event at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Fayetteville.
The hunt will begin early Saturday, although additional activities for kids will be held between 9 and 11:30 a.m. during the day. Lunch will be available between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. A concert is set for 5 p.m. to help conclude the event.
For more information about participating in the event as a young hunter, as a guide/mentor, as a landowner with available hunting property, or for other inquires, visit www.kidshuntingforacure.org.
