Students for St. Jude Raise $1,600

dean | May 26th, 2010 | No Comments »

Jennie Mulder, one of the incredible supporters of St. Jude Children’s Hospital, organized the Students for St. Jude fundraiser in Schuyler County, Il. The event involved several local schools and in addition to raising awareness among students, faculty and staff, it also brought in nearly $1,600!

Jennie’s already preparing for a fall fundraiser for the Run — “Turkey Trek 2,” the second annual 5k walk that brings out tons of volunteers and other supporters.

It’s thanks to the many volunteers like Jennie and the folks in Rushville and the rest of Schuyler County that St. Jude is able to do so much for so many children — thanks to you all!
