Why We Support St. Jude
Nietschmann
As most of you know, my passion for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital began when we formed a partnership with Chili's and St. Jude back in 2002. I have been involved with them since. With all of our family moves, I have managed to join up with 6 different St. Jude regional offices and remain on the ALSAC board which is the fund raising arm of the Hospital. Every September (which is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month), many cities across the country have a St. Jude Walk/Run to help raise money for this great organization. This year in Austin, I have my own team to help fundraise. The link is attached.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. St. Jude freely shares all its research findings and advances with all doctors, hospitals and institutions throughout the world.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live. Because of our generous donors, St. Jude can provide children cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families. No parent ever expects that their child must fight to live.
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
If you can, please help. Even a dollar helps. Our goal is to help Danny Thomas' dream and his reason for opening St Jude become a reality....."No child should die in the dawn of life".
Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
Thank you for whatever you are able to help with,
Scott
