Why We Support St. Jude
David's Dukes and Duchesses
We’ve signed up for the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer, and we need your help to reach our fundraising goal. This is our sixth year walking on behalf of David Bernardinelli, to continue his legacy as a St. Jude Hero.
David acted as a St. Jude liaison throughout his career with DXL. Through their shared passion and fundraising, DXL was able to fund the purchase of a microscopy machine. This machine takes high-definition pictures of each cell, helping to save children's lives through early detection. As a result of his dedication to and love for the children of St. Jude, David was honored posthumously with the prestigious Legacy Award, as well as a brick bearing his name on the St. Jude Pathway of Hope.
David passed away three years ago after a very brave battle with ALS. Before he passed, we created this team so that David would know we would carry on his fight for the children of St. Jude. Please consider donating to our team in his honor.
Why we support St. Jude:
- Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
- St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate for childhood cancer from less than 20% when we first opened our doors to 80% today. St. Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
