I wish I had heard about this earlier so I could have really promoted the heck out of it but I didn’t so I’m hopeful that I can still make an impact and even more hopeful that you will help me.
Starting today, I am hosting a virtual Super Bowl party to raise money for St. Jude. You can access my page here.
Why did I want to get involved with fundraising for St. Jude? For starters, they are just a great organization. To quote their info:
St. Jude treats the world’s sickest children battling cancer and other deadly diseases and no family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives. St. Jude is researching the world’s deadliest pediatric diseases—doing research that no one else is doing and sharing the findings. Today, millions of children around the world are benefiting from St. Jude’s discoveries. Because of this, it costs more than $1.7 million a day to keep the life-saving research and treatment going.
But my reason for doing this come from a personal place too. As I’ve mentioned here before, Brooke was born with torticollis. Brooke’s was fairly minor case but it still meant weekly (at times twice a week) visits to a physical therapists, x-rays, CT scans and a TOT collar. It was at times expensive and scary.
So, how must it feel to have your child diagnosed with CANCER? I can’t even imagine so I’m happy there is a place like St. Jude that provides care AND research at no cost to families. But that funding has to come from somewhere.
So I’m asking you to help me reach a goal of $250 at my virtual St. Jude Game Day. Give Back Party.
Enjoy the Super Bowl!! Who ya rooting for??
