Sole Ryeders & Friends’ 2nd annual children’s fundraiser, Cover the Court with Coins, will take place September 28 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Rye Rec tennis courts. The event is a challenge to the community to cover an entire tennis court with coins. At this Children Helping Children event, all of the coins will be donated in support of hospitalized children, many of whom are being treated for cancer.
The Rye TD Bank Store is the Platinum Sponsor of the event. Beginning this week, TD Bank will give out coin banks to help children collect their coins. They also will be on-site at the event to help collect the coins and then count them in their Penny Arcade.
Children can place their coins on the court or have a volunteer place them. Participants can also create get-well cards for children undergoing bone marrow transplants at local hospitals.
Sole Ryeders (www.soleryeders.org), founded in 2007, is a volunteer-driven, community-based organization that provides and supports local cancer-related programs.
