Are you ready for some fundraising?

I am.  Zach’s Toy Chest volunteers are.  Now we just need you to show up and make our 2^nd Annual Cruizin’ for Childhood Cancer Motorcycle Ride & Community Fun Day a huge success! 

Do you need your blood pressure of glucose checked for free?  We can do that for you courtesy of Martin General Hospital.  Want your picture taken by a professional photographer?  Show up and have Jamie Butler snap your mug.  Craving a snow cone?  Deep South Shaved Ice will be on hand just for you.  Missing the taste of the beach?  Come get fresh seafood from Ashbella Seafood Company.  There will also be live music going all day performed by some of Eastern NC’s finest.  Jamie Bryant, Ed Corey, Laci Wagner and The Shakedown will be performing along with legendary DJ Keith Manning from BOCO DJ & Karaoke.  Whatever you are in the mood for, we’ve got you covered.

Last year we had 70 bikes.  I would love to see twice as many this year.  We’ve got the perfect set up weather wise (sunny and 86 degrees) so there is no excuse not to come out and celebrate…unless you are one of the poor souls in school until 1pm.  You get to join the festivities after the school bell rings.

Here is a run down of who is singing and when.

8:30AM - DJ starts
10:15 - Jamie Bryant
11:00 - Ed Corey
12 Noon - Dick Feyer
1:00 - The Shakedown

There will be loads of family fun for all ages to enjoy.  We’ve got a bouncy house that is only $2 to jump all day.  Face painting for $1.  Zach’s Toy Chest merchandise for sale.  Hot dog/BBQ sandwich plates for $5.  Plates include a hot dog or BBQ sandwich, chips, cookie and drink.  What a bargain.  You’ll also be able to buy items separately if you’d like to do so. 

The fun begins at 8:30AM and lasts all day until 4PM at the Williamston Piggly Wiggly parking lot.  (

Get yourself down to Williamston and help us raise awareness for childhood cancer and raise money for ZTC so we can keep providing the local hospitals with toys and other essential items for kids getting their cancer treatments. 

The case of the NED.

I'm more than a little late writing this, but now is better than never.  Right?  Zach just wrapped up his 3 year cancer check and we are in the clear!  August will mark his official 3 year mark since we first heard those magic words, "Zach is NED".  Such sweet words.  Better than winning the lottery.  We are planning a superhero party for Zach now.  I think all kids that battle cancer should be considered superheros, so why not have a party and do it up right?  Any excuse to get together and have fun - count me in.


We've been busy bees working on delivering toys and gearing up for our 2nd Annual Cruizin' for Childhood Cancer Motorcycle Ride and Community Fun Day. 


The event will be held September 10^th from 8:30am – 4pm.  There will be live music, vendors, face painting, a bouncy house, lunch and raffles.  This year we are having live music performed by Jamie Leigh Bryant, Dick Feyer, The Shakedown and BOCO DJ & Karoke.  We also will have Martin General Hospital performing free blood pressure and glucose checks along with other vendors. 


There will be BBQ sandwhich plates selling for $5/plate.  Plates include a BBQ sandwich, chips, drink and dessert.  How can you not have fun with all that? 

We would also like to extend an invitation for your business/organization/church to have a booth at the event.  The vendor fee this year is $15 with a small donation of your product to be put in the drawing for a door prize.  All vendor fees, waivers and door prizes must be turned in by September 1st.

Come out to the event, have fun, raise awareness for childhood cancer and money for Zach's Toy Chest so we can continue to supply the local clinics with toys and other essential items the kids need to survive the long days of treatment.  Be part of the coolest crew around.  Just do it.  Do it for the bald kids and any other slogans that will motivate you to take part this year.
