Beautiful Babies

I was born and raised in a small coal mining town in PA. Of course my dad worked in the coal mine so my parents couldnt afford to buy a radio flyer for us kids We would go to my grandparents in Gettysburg every other weekend. It was so exciting because we would go to the battle field. However my best part of the wekend was going in my grandpas garage and pulling out the old metal radio flyer. I would go up and down the driveway pulling my dolls in the wagon. That was in the early 60s and the red radio flyer was all metal except the tires. It was such fantastic memories i bought a radio flyer to pull my children around. Then bought one to pull my grandsons around. When they outgrew the wagon my grandsons used it to pull around their "special" rocks bugs, pine cones. Anything they thought was special. Three generations have loved and enjoyed great memories with the red radio flyer

For the past three years I’ve purchased a Build a Gift Wagon for Babies to donate to a silent auction. I’ve had Radio Flyer include a teddy bear, blanket, bib and rubber duck in the wagon. The wagon and items come wrapped in clear cellophane with a beautiful, large bow. After I receive the wagon I add a children’s book about Chicago that I put in the front. The Radio Flyer Wagon always generates a lot of bids! It shows well and individuals purchase it for their child, grandchild, niece, nephew or friend. The silent auction that I donate to is for the Chicago Engineers Foundation. Every year they give $1,000 scholarships to deserving Chicago high school seniors who plan to study engineering in college. The auction helps to raise additional money for these scholarships. I plan on continuing to purchase the Radio Flyer Wagon, for donations and for my family and friends.
