Spring Festival

CLERMONT, Fla. -- Sweetbay Supermarket held an event not only to attract customers, but to provide a place where children could enjoy Easter activities.


Kayla Schipper, a Sweetbay employee, did a quick presentation on what the event was all about. During the presentation, Schipper mentioned that the event was tied with a donation program named Relay for Life.


“This is a great event for kids to have fun,” said Schipper, “and where we can make a difference in the lives of others.”


Relay for life is a volunteer-driven cancer fundraising program of the American Cancer Society. The main objective of this foundation is to raise money through donations for cancer research and cancer patients.


Jenny Solano, a mother attending the event, said that she feels more inclined to buy from Sweetbay because of this particular event. “Sweetbay takes the time to do this activity while open for business,” said Solano, “I have not seen other supermarkets do activities like this for their customers.”


Felipe Mejia, another customer said that this was a great event because people are able to spend quality time with their children and at the same time do something that makes a difference in someone else’s life.


“I work a lot and do not have much time to spend with my son," said Mejia, "this is why I take advantage of these types of events.”


The event turned out to be very beneficial not only for Sweetbay, but for Relay for Life and for the children who enjoyed themselves.
