On April 15th, 2012 Camp Happy Days will host the 3rd Annual Charleston Bed
Race, and we need your help. This happy event, while fun for
participants and spectators alike, has a serious side. It benefits Camp
Happy Days, the year round program for South Carolina’s children with
cancer, whose mission is to give children diagnosed with cancer and
their families hope and support by providing programs, special events
emotional support and access to crisis resources.
So, jump under the sheets and roll down to Mary Murray Boulevard in
Hampton Park on april 10th. At approximately 3:00 p,m., the
2nd Charleston Bed Race will commence on the backside of the park. A
grand parade of the racing beds before the judges and spectators will
take place before the heats begin. The beds will be judged on the fastest
bed, slowest bed, best decorated, most outrageously decorated, the “What
were you thinking?” bed, and the People’s Choice Award.
The heats will involve two beds at a time racing a distance of
approximately two city blocks, with a challenge to be determined halfway
through the course. These heats will continue until we are down to two
beds. The fun continues until we have a bed race champion team who will
reign for the year. Libations (a.k.a. Beer) and food will be served.
Don’t miss out on the chance to expose your creative side by decorating
the bed of your dreams, throwing some wheels on it, and join us on April 15th at Hampton Park!
Let’s help our kids kickin’ cancer, one bed at a
time!
