SEASIDE – Seaside High School student and Miss North Coast Outstanding Teen, Hannah Bacon coordinated a “Help Find a Cure and Save a Life car wash and fundraiser May 11 and 12 at the Seaside Chamber/Broadway Middle School parking lot that raised $940.

Donations taken at the car wash will go to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“This is my platform for my participation in the Miss Oregon Scholarship Pageant,” Bacon said. “I don’t think many people realize in today’s society there are so many kids that have cancer. St. Jude provides care for the children whose families cant afford cancer treatment.”

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is located in Memphis, Tenn. The late entertainer Danny Thomas opened the hospital in 1962.

Bacon’s car wash was sponsored by Subway, Freedom T-Shirts and Terry Bacon Automotive.

The Miss Oregon Pageant Camp runs May 18-20 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center. The Pageant is set for June 27-30 at the Convention Center in Seaside.
