Forrest City day begins with a big bang from Steve Roberts for Go Jim Go

FORREST CITY, Ark. — Day 4 of Go Jim Go each year is a really unusual day.  The team travels to Forrest City and several points in eastern Arkansas, but there are only a few schools to visit.

Instead, the main attraction is a man named Steve Roberts.  Every year, he asks for donations from friends across the area.  And he has a lot of friends.

This morning on News Channel 3, Steve Roberts told Jim he’s raised $62,000 for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital through donations and fundraising events.

Le Bonheur staffers traveling with the riders thanked Steve again for his commitment to the hospital and its patients.
