Radio Flyer Presents $10,000 Little Red Stories Grand Prize to Deserving Kansas City-Area Family

Two weeks ago I featured my review on the new Radio Flyer Ziggle here on our Two Classy Chics blog. My grand daughter LOVES her new Ziggle and rides it all of the time. We have loved Radio Flyer products for many years…and my daughter (now an adult) had a favorite little red wagon made by them that she used for several years before retiring it to her cousin.

With that said, I wanted to share some fabulous news with all of you which you will find below. Watch this heart-warming and exciting video below.

WHO:
Radio Flyer awards $10,000 check to three-year-old Amare Dawit and his family of Lawrence, KS for their submission – “Mama Sit!” – to its Little Red Stories Contest. Adopted from Ethiopia, Amare has an infectious smile that radiates happiness. Whether running around with his Radio Flyer trike or wagon, Amare is full of smiles and thoroughly enjoys his outdoor play adventures. According to Amare’s mom. Reesa Allee, who submitted the $10,000-winning story, the Radio Flyer wagon he received for his second birthday is the preferred method of transportation on the family’s evening walks. One night shortly after bringing Amare home from Ethiopia, he patted the extra seat in the wagon and said, “Mama sit!” When Allee hopped in as instructed, Amare found it hilarious and erupted with laughter as his dad pulled the duo through the neighborhood.

WHAT:
The eight-month promotion sought to uncover personal stories and memories involving a Radio Flyer product. Entries from coast-to-coast poured in, sharing moments of joy, laughter, grass stains and outdoor play, but in the end it was the story of three-year-old Amare Dawit of Lawrence, Kansas that clinched the grand prize.

A representative from Radio Flyer will be traveling to the family’s home in Lawrence, KS to present the $10,000 check among other prizes, including a surprise donation.
