<p>More than 50 Fresno State clubs and organizations sold a record $18,000
worth of special editions of the Fresno Bee as part of the 17th annual
Kids Day.</p>
<p> Students raised $3,000 more than last year’s total, which was about
$15,000. The Phi Mu Fraternity raised the most money, totaling $1,400.
The organization that sold the most papers on campus will receive a pizza
party courtesy of John’s New England Pizza.</p>
<p> Students went out as early as 5:30 a.m. to sell papers, and stayed
out until after 3 p.m.</p>
<p> Trish Studt, a staff member for Students for Community Service, helped
coordinate the Kids Day push on campus. She said the campus Kids Day
effort has never had so many organizations participate.</p>
<p> “It is a campus-wide effort,” Studt said. “Even University
High School sold some papers.”</p>
<p> Fresno State students have been involved with Kids Day since 1988,
when the fundraiser first started. </p>
<p> “
We are historically the biggest site, we sell the most every year,” Studt
said. </p>
<p> Proceeds from Kids Day editions go to the hospital for various supplies
and costs, including diapers and pacifiers, as well as helicopter transports
and free care.</p>
<p> Katy Robinson, a junior, is a member of Fresno State’s nursing program.
Robinson said that a lot of nursing students work at Children’s Hospital
Central California.</p>
<p> “
It has more of a meaning for us because we get to see the effects,” Robinson
said.</p>
<p> Senior Nirali Patel, a biology major, coordinates the event with Studt.
Patel is also involved in two of the clubs that participate in the event
and was out
selling the papers with her classmates. </p>
<p> “
Everyone is having fun...people are generous,” Patel said.</p>
<p> The athletic department had members from several different teams scattered
throughout the campus to sell papers.</p>
<p> Members of the equestrian team near the Save Mart Center flagged down
drivers on Shaw avenue.</p>
<p> “
We are out here to sell newspapers and help the kids raise money for the hospital,” said
Jennifer Campbell, a freshman majoring in Animal Science.</p>
<p> Campbell was out at 7:15 a.m. with teammates Tasha Lodwig and Brianna
Mastel.</p>
<p> Lodwig and Mastel said they told Campbell she must have been a newspaper
seller in a past life, because she had so much enthusiasm selling the
papers.</p>
<p> At the corner of Shaw and Cedar, two members of the women’s volleyball
team received a $50 donation from a woman who said she wanted to donate to the
hospital. </p>
<p> Kids Day began as a fundraising project between Children’s Hospital , The
Fresno Bee and KFSN Channel 30. </p>
<p> The Bee publishes and provides a $1 special edition of the paper for
volunteers to sell to the community. </p>
<p> Each newspaper features a section dedicated to the hospital and filled
with articles about patients, projects and procedures at the Children’s Hospital.</p>
