Mel’s Diner Benefit
Mel’s Diner is having a Classic Vehicle Cruise In to benefit Helping Kids With Cancer.
Over 100 classic vehicles will be on display in the parking lot of Mel’s Diner in Fort Myers, on US 41 - ½ mile south of Colonial Blvd. this Sunday November 25th from 6:00-9:00 P.M. Proceeds raised during the car show will benefit Helping Kids with Cancer.
Helping Kids With Cancer provides an opportunity to rally local area communities in support of this important cause. Children, ranging in age from infants to age 19 are being treated in the seven county region of SW Florida: Lee, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Desoto, Charlotte and Sarasota at The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida. Before the establishment of the outpatient center, children with cancer or other blood disorders would have to travel all the way to Miami or Tampa for treatment. Currently, plans are underway to build a 12-bed pediatric inpatient unit. Children requiring hospitalization while undergoing chemotherapy cannot risk exposure to common cold germs due to their compromised immune systems. A unit designed specifically to meet their unique requirements allows children to be treated in a healing environment, with a child friendly staff and standards. No child is denied treatment as a result of their family’s inability to pay.
Also, help kids at The Children’s Hospital during the holidays by bringing a teddy bear to be donated and delivered by the Vietnam Veterans of America Florida Chapter 594.
There will be a cookout and live entertainment by Uptown Express.
There is NO admission charge.
