RUMFORD — The Rumford Eagles will hold a Child Advocacy Day and fund raiser for the area youth from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 7.

The Eagles seek interested groups to set up booths that can offer information on content such as bullying, internet safety, sex abuse, dangers of smoking, drug abuse, gun safety, nutrition, health and any other subject that can benefit the health and well being of our youth.

They are also seeking groups or organizations that have activities to offer for youth such as recreation, church groups, scouts and clubs.
