Trad Gang

HI Gang, Craig Billig from St Jude wanted me to post this thank you from them.

To all Trad Gang members, I want to personally thank each of you for participating in the St. Jude event this past year in raising $73,969.22!  This is a huge milestone for your organization and something that all of you should be very proud about your accomplishments!  Overall, your group has raised $146,764.69 in just the three years doing the event.  Every year gets better and better!  St. Jude will put every single penny into making the hospital and the research something that each of you are proud of, knowing that this money is saving children's lives as I write this note.  Each of you owns a piece of the hospital in the fact that without your efforts and contributions, the hospital would not be able to continue to grow and find better cures for the children.   As many of you probably know, the demand for the research and treatment at St. Jude is growing rapidly.  The cost in conducting the research and taking care of the children who are treated at the hospital and at many of our affiliate locations is rising above $1.3 million a day!  The Trad Gang event for St. Jude is huge for the hospital and we are so delighted that it continues to grow each year!  Please keep up the great work you do for the kids!  I will stay in touch with Doug, so I will continue hear about the many great things that are happening with Trad Gang.

Sincerely,
Craig Billig
Director, ALSAC/ST. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Volunteer Service Center, Memphis, TN

What Claudia said. Great Job!<><

My Dad had a saying..."We didn't get much done today, but we'll try to do better next time!"  Meaning we did the best we could, but will try harder to do better next time.
So maybe we'll top it next year.
It was my first!  Awsome!
Thanks to everyone.

WOW, A commendable job to one and all!!!

I live in Memphis, TN, home to the St Jude's Children's Research hospital.  This is one of the greatest charities one can donate to.  I have several friends who work at St Jude's and can tell you there is so much pain and suffering these kids and their families endure.

When life is stressful and things aren't going my way, I only need to remember how blessed I am to have four healthy kids.  My problems pale in comparison to what these folks live with.  Puts things in perspective real quick!

Awesome show of generosity here on this site.  Donaters and bidders really outdid themselves this year.  Great job and thanks to Doug and those behind the scenes who make this happen each year!

It will be a great day when the word "cancer"  and the word "children" won't be used together.

God bless you folks.
