The PowerUp Candy Trade-In Results are In!
Wednesday, November 4, 2015
PowerUp hosted our annual Candy Trade-In at Lakeview Hospital this year and had great success!
Over 150 children ranging in age from 2 to 12 years old stopped by the hospital to trade-in their candy for (non-food) prizes! They were also able to write thank-you letters to our military men and women in the National Guard!
Total, 243 pounds of candy was collected for donation to the military.
Thank you to all of the families who stopped by to help PowerUp the community!

The PowerUp Office is packed with candy donations!
