Trike-A-Thon
Trike-A-Thon is a fun, week-long curriculum and fundraising program for daycare centers or pre-schools that teaches children riding-toy safety lessons through a series of interactive stories. Children receive these lessons from special St. Jude friends, Bikewell Bear® and Pedals the Bunny®, while raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. At the end of the Trike-A-Thon week, students bring their trikes or riding-toys to school and practice the safety lessons they have learned.
Included in the Trike-A-Thon school coordinator kit is the official Trike-A-Thon DVD, featuring theme song, "Different Spokes for Different Folks," from kids' band Hot Peas 'N Butter™. Nick Jr's. Dora the Explorer is the new spokesperson for Trike-A-Thon.

How does Trike-A-Thon raise money for the children of St. Jude?
Parents help their children gain sponsorship from friends, family and co-workers. Typically, sponsors either donate a monetary amount per lap or pledge a flat donation amount for the child to participate. After the Trike-A-Thon, parents help collect donations from sponsors and turn them into the school coordinator. Children that participate in the program learn riding-toy safety, help St. Jude and earn fun prizes.
What does St. Jude provide?
Volunteer coordinators (typically pre-school teachers or daycare operators) will receive a Trike-A-Thon kit to help organize and plan the event. The kit includes a storybook, coloring sheets, posters, a Trike-A-Thon DVD and other materials needed to carry out a successful event. All of these materials are free. There is no cost to your pre-school or daycare center to coordinate an event.
