(Corpus Christi, TX) Crisp and juicy Red Delicious and Golden Delicious Washington State Apples add so much to so many Fall recipes. The Six Points Kiwanis Club is proud to sponsor the 24th Annual Apple Sale, a benefit fundraiser for Driscoll Children’s Hospital’s “Camp for All” camp for children surviving with cancer. The event will take place on Saturday, October 28th from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the hospital’s parking lot.

Saturday morning, an eighteen wheeler will deliver nearly 900 cases of Red and Golden Delicious apples. Apples are $35 per case and can be purchased from any Six Points Kiwanis member or by calling 993-6902 x 106. Walk-ups will be welcomed but quantities are limited so presales are recommended. Cash, check or credit cards will be accepted.

Throughout the years, Six Points Kiwanis has been instrumental in raising over $250,000 for the children of South Texas with the Apple Sale and Skeet Shoot among many other efforts. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for children and families in the Coastal Bend area.
