Creek student is a March of Dimes hero By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer His folks recently received a letter that he’s the top kid in his class at Creek Elementary.
Jared also has become friends with the men working in the Army recruiting office at Arrowhead Mall. They have March of Dimes cans on their desks to collect money. Jared checks the cans every so often by shaking them. He recently told one of the guys there, “You really need to start working on this.” Jared wants to be the top youth fundraiser in Oklahoma again this year — but he also wants to be the top in the nation. “So, please help me raise money to develop medicine that fits babies’ needs,” he says on his Web site. “You never know who you may help, but it feels good to know that you’re a hero.” You can help Jared Town and his family will be walking for the March of Dimes on May 16 and are encouraging individuals and groups to participate. The 2009 Muskogee County March For Babies, presented by Georgia-Pacific’s Angel Soft & Sparkle Paper Products, will be May 16 at Muskogee Civic Center. Registration is at 9 a.m., and the walk begins at 10 a.m. Information: 742-0333. Checks, payable to March of Dimes, may be sent to Jared Town, at 2952 S. Woodland Road, Muskogee, OK, 74403.
