Nielson Student Council Walkathon to Benefit St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital
September 23, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
FreeDid you know that the daily operating cost of St. Jude is 2.2 million dollars? Approximately 75% of the costs of St. Jude are covered by public contributions. Nielson Student Council is asking your help to raise $4,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by getting sponsors for our upcoming Walkathon on Saturday, September 23 from 9:00-11:00 AM at the GHS Field House Track.
Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food—because St. Jude believes that all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Please help us support that belief by participating in this year’s Walkathon. You can form your own team, raise funds individually, or sponsor a Nielson Elementary Student. Our community has several children who have endured treatments at St. Jude and this is an opportunity to support those families and give back to St. Jude’s. We hope to see you there.
