A local non-profit group will be holding a carnival fund-raiser for children’s charities at Union Township Veterans Park Saturday, Sept. 6.

The event will be Cincy Kids 4 Kids’ ninth annual summer carnival. The carnival will feature many family-friendly games. Prizes which will include an 8GB iPod Nano, a $100 gas card, among many others will be raffled.

All of the proceeds from the fund-raiser will benefit a variety of children’s charities, including Children’s Hospital, Fernside Center for Grieving Children, St. Joseph’s Orphanage, and many others.

“We do a lot with Children’s Hospital,” said group co-founder Missy Bastin. “We try to lessen the discomfort of children in the hospital. If they have a toy it helps.”

Bastin said that the group is holding a silent auction ‘Bid and Buy’ at the carnival which will feature theme baskets put together by neighborhoods.
