Fundraising event set for Sept. 24 in Red Bank

Monmouth Day Care Center (MDCC) will hold its seventh annual Touch-a-Truck “fun-raiser”  from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on Sept. 24 at the Red Bank Middle School, 101 Harding Rd., Red Bank.

Ambulances, fire engines, military vehicles, limousines, dump trucks and other construction equipment will be displayed in the Middle School parking lot, where kids will get a closer look at the vehicles. Children are encouraged to explore the vehicles in a safe environment while the owners and operators are on hand to describe how the vehicles work and what kind of jobs they do. In addition to the vehicles on display, the event includes crafts, games (activity tickets required) and music. Food vendors will be available, and a 50-50 raffle will be held.

Tickets are $15 for a family of up to four if purchased in advance, and includes five activity tickets; $20 at the door includes three activity tickets. MDCC is partnering with Lunch Break, a Red Bank non-profit that provides food and clothing for those in need. Bring a non-perishable food item for Lunch Break and receive an extra activity ticket.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Monmouth Day Care Center. For advance tickets and additional information visit, www.monmouthdaycarecenter1969.org, or call 732-741-4313.
