Thousands of volunteers were out on corners selling special issues of The Fresno Bee for Kids Day, an annual event that benefits Children’s Hospital Central California, March 8.

FC students took part in the event, selling at the intersections of Cedar and Alluvial and Maple and Alluvial.

Student leadership, band and The Feather staff arrived as early as 3 a.m. to secure the corners and commence the fundraiser.

Altogether, campus students sold 765 papers and raised $1,314 for the hospital. Donors paid the suggested $1 donation or more for a copy of the newspaper.

This 6-minute video, produced by junior David Casuga, provides highlights of Kids Day 2011, including coverage of student-manned corners and intersections with local celebrities.
