Childhood Cancer Foundation Treats Children to Easter Fun

It was a day of Easter fun for more than 200 children and parents who took part in the Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the Childhood Cancer Foundation.

The Easter celebration was April 16 at Sylvan Park in Redlands and welcomed children who are being treated for or have survived cancer and their families.

The Easter Bunny delivered about 3,000 candy-stuffed plastic eggs and Easter baskets for all the children, organizers said. The bunny also lead the children in a variety of group games and dances such as the Bunny Hop and Cha-Cha Slide.

The Pacific Southeast District Optimists sponsored a carnival-type event with games, gifts and food and refreshments. Eggs are filled and donated by the Air Force Security Forces, National Charity League, Arlene Barton and American Legion Post 777 and Girl Scout Troop 12494, officials said.

The Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California, Inc. is committed to serving children with cancer and their families emotionally, financially, educationally and with emergency assistance.
