Written by Elizabeth McCabe
It’s always fun to go to a summer carnival,
but it is so much more fulfilling to come to
carnival for a cause.
This summer on July 13th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, the Goddard
School on 754 Reading Road in Mason will be holding their 14th
Annual Summer Carnival to benefit the Dragonfly Foundation. This
foundation was founded for an all-important purpose: to bring com-
fort and joy to kids and young adults being treated for cancer and
blood diseases. What a wonderful way to spend a summer night by
helping those in need!
By participating in the carnival, you will be helping the Dragonfly
Foundation create special events and memorable moments for fami-
lies, implement the “I Am Still Me” Hair Loss Program, help fulfill
children’s hospital “wish lists,” and much more! Your participation
truly makes a difference in the lives of others. Plus, the carnival itself
will be a blast! Food, games, raffles, a dunking booth, and a “bounce
house” all make the night fun for all! Be sure to come out with your
family and have a great time!
