<p>The treat will be held on Balcombe Drive, starting at 11 a.m. Children in attendance will benefit from having their school fees paid and their booklists covered, among other things. Part proceeds from King Bach’s comedic album, <strong>Medicine</strong>, will go to Ikaya’s community development project. </p>
