By participating in or attending the events, you will help raise funds for children in the United States and globally who are stricken with diseases like Cancer, AIDS and Sickle Cell Anemia. These funds will help St. Jude in its ongoing fight against childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Their research has literally cut the death rate for many childhood cancers and diseases by more than half. Founded by the late entertainer, Danny Thomas, and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization, through events such as Workout for St. Jude.

If you are interested in participating or making a donation, please visit The TCRH Wellness Center, in the Galax Shopping Plaza, or call (276) 236-5931. For more information on St. Jude Children’s Research, please visit www.stjude.org.
