HOULTON — From Sept. 4 through Oct. 7, Olympia Sports customers can help fight childhood cancers by giving $1 to the Jimmy Fund through the “A Chance for Kids” program. The store chain’s goal is to raise more than $75,000 for pediatric cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Houlton’s Olympia Sports, located 139 North St., is among the stores participating in this fund-raising event.
This is Olympia Sports fifth year of participating in A Chance for Kids and they have raised more than $255,000 since 2008. Stores in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia will be part of this year’s program.
Also participating are Burger King restaurants and Aubuchon Hardware stores.
“While there are many great causes to support, the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute stand alone. Olympia Sports is proud to play a small part in their efforts to treat pediatric cancer,” said Ed Manganello, president of Olympia Sports.
