9 year old Dexter Boy organizes Benefit for Victims of Oklahoma Tornado for Saturday June 1, 2013

DES MOINES, Iowa - May 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Inspired by the movie Little Red Wagon – 9 year old J Austin asked to do a fundraiser to help the families in Moore Oklahoma whose lives were shattered by the EF5 Tornado on Monday, May 20, 2013.

After seeing a television interview about a mother whose family lost their home in the recent EF5 Tornado in Moore, OK, 9 year old J Austin told his mother he wanted to do something to help the families in Moore, OK.

J asked his mother Bethany Daly if he could sell bottles of water at their upcoming family garage sale. Bethany reached out to some local businesses in the small town of Dexter, Iowa, and within a few hours The Red Wagon Campaign was born. (Inspired by the movie Little Red Wagon which demonstrates how one person can effect change in the world.)

Local businesses are already participating: Fareway has donated cases of water to be sold; Dale Valley Winery is donating $1 for every bottle of wine they sell on June 1; and Interstate Chevy is providing storage and transportation for the donated water.

The family garage sale and fundraiser will be held Saturday June 1st from 9am – noon at 820 Dallas St,  Dexter IA.
