All ticket proceeds and donations will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a remarkable institution founded by Danny Thomas, to treat and prevent devastating pediatric diseases. Most extraordinary is that no child is turned away because of race, religion, or inability to pay. Public donations and fundraising events are integral to sustaining this organization with operating costs of approx. $1.8M each day. Since it's opening in 1962, St. Jude's revolutionary treatments have helped increase survival rates of certain childhood cancers from less than 20% to over 80%. Since opening it's doors, St. Jude has developed effective research and treatment protocols which have helped push certain childhood cancer survival rates from under 20% in 1962 to over 80% today. These treatments are never at any cost to patients and families, and with daily operating costs of $1.8 M, St. Jude relies heavily on public donations and fundraising events to continue their lifesaving work. With your contribution,  we can provide hope to those who are fighting for life each day.
