Once again,

Senoia's city officials are donating their time to a good cause.

Senoia Mayor

Dianne Cleveland and City Councilman Patrick Tunnell are heading up this

year's St. Jude's Children's Hospital Bike-A-Thon in Senoia Sept.28.

Proceeds from

the event go to help children suffering from catastrophic illnesses.

The hospital

was opened to the public in 1962 and helps cover all costs of care beyond

those paid by insurance.

In Georgia,

more than 300 children have gone to the hospital and received care for

their illnesses.

In addition

to fun, food and prizes, the Senoia Optimist Club has donated four new

bicycles for the girls and boys who raise the most money for the event.

The Senoia

Police Department will conduct bike inspections, and will have new helmets

to give to kids who don't have a helmet.

All children

in the community are invited to participate and volunteers are appreciated.

The event starts

at 9 a.m. and young children will ride their bikes in the Senoia United

Methodist Church parking lot.

"This

is really a great event. It's non-denominational and the whole community

can participate. There have been children in the county who have been

helped by St. Jude's," Cleveland said.
