(Corpus Christi, TX) Driscoll Children's Hospital is thrilled to accept a check for 12-thousand dollars from the Six Points Kiwanis Club for their annual apple sale. For the past 21 years, the group has provided residents here with some delicious, red, crisp apples and it all benefits the hospital.

This past event, more than 1,000 cases of fresh apples harvested in Washington state came here for distribution. They were immediately loaded onto two refrigerated 18-wheelers and ready for pick-up.

The Six Points Kiwanis Club is made up of 20 members. The Club’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children and families in the Coastal Bend area. Over the years, the club has raised more than $185,000 for the hospital during this event.
