The Baytown Optimist Club gave
35 children diagnosed with cancer
the chance to forget hospitals, blood
tests and illness and focus on carni-
val games, boat rides and summer
firn Saturday during its seventh annu-
al Civic Pride Cancer Picnic.
Former club member Calvin Evans
first had the idea of holding a picnic
for young cancer patients in 1999.
For the first year’s picnic, Evans took
children on a ferry ride up Buffalo
Bayou before serving them junk food
and letting them ride his homemade
train, “Civic Pride.” Co-chairman for
this year’s event Kathy Anderson
said that each year, more children
have attended. ----------------- —
This year’s event featured a clown,
live music, a cool-down tent and free
food, including ice cream and snow. .
cones.
Anderson said the highlight of the
event was seeing the busloads of
children from M.D. Anderson
Hospital and Texas Children’s
Hospital arrive at the picnic.
“The kids were so excited to get
off the bus,” she said. “People from
the hospital told me that this morn-
ing they kept asking, ‘When can we
leave?’ and once they got on the bus,
they were asking, ‘Are we there yet,
are we there yet?”’
For the third year, the event was
held at Eastside Honda, where chil-
dren could ride boats donated by
Witt Marine and watch jet skiers in
action on the waterfront near the
dealership.
“Words can’t even express how
this makes me feel,” co-chairman
