Area families raised money for children with disabilities, all while having fun Saturday.

Families made their way out to Prime Time Saturday morning.

The Joseph Thomas Foundation Triathlon for Children held its 5th annual event Saturday morning to allow children to compete in arcade and bowling games, regardless of limitations or disabilities.

The foundation provides funds to assist medically fragile children and organizations in the Abilene and Big Country areas.

After Joseph Thomas passed away at age 6, due to many medical problems, his family set up the foundation to help kids like him.
