General Information:
The 21st Annual St. Jude Benefit Meet will take place on January 7th & 8th, 2012 at the Pheasant Run Mega Center. During one weekend a year, athletes complete not only for individual and team awards, but also to help sick children live. Event organizers donate 100% of all net proceeds to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. To date, this event has donated over 3/4 of a million dollars to St. Jude for the research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.
About St. Jude
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded in 1962 by the late entertainer, Danny Thomas. His dream was to help children so that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” Today, that dream is being realized at this amazing facility, which helps treat children suffering from catastrophic diseases like cancer, sickle cell disease, AIDS and other immune deficiency syndromes. Through donations, St. Jude has been able to further research which has led to a 90% survival rate for Acute Lymphocytic Lukemia (ALL), up from 4% when their doors first opened. For more information on the hospital, visit www.stjude.org.
