Regence Sales team creates fun and memories for 300 children
What: An afternoon of fun and games!
When: Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 2:00pm – 4:30pm
Where: The Regence Boys & Girls Club, 4430 N. Trenton, Portland, Oregon 97203
Why: Every kid deserves a summer carnival!
PORTLAND, Ore. – What kid doesn’t deserve an afternoon of hockey, horseshoes, facepainting and -- Pelican Fish Pitch? Yeah, we don’t know what Pelican Fish Pitch is either, but we know it’s going to be an exciting afternoon for 300 kids at the Regence Boys & Girls Club in North Portland.
Every day the Boys & Girls Club strives to create “A Positive Place for Kids” and Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon is delighted to help make that happen.
The Oregon sales team will host the day as carnival barkers, giving kids the opportunity to test their skills at golf and bowling, compete for raffle prizes, and take home delicious gourmet cakes. Throw in basketball, hockey, bean bag toss, frog flinger, quarterback attack, lollipop tree, pin a win, ping pong toss and -- you get the idea. This is going to be a blast!
“I absolutely love this day,” said Don Antonucci, Vice President of Sales. “To see the smiles and hear the laughter of these boys and girls as they run from one carnival contest to another is what being part of a community is all about. I hope the memories these kids make during this event stay with them all summer long.”
So, step right up to sink that putt, toss that bean bag, and win a prize. The 3rd Annual Regence Boys & Girls Club Summer Carnival is almost here!
