I'm a supporter of St. Jude's how about you?

I'm a supporter of St. Jude's how about you?

You can make cash donations.  You can bid on an auction item & when you win the kids do too!  I was just tallying up my bids on items & so far it comes to $365!  What a coincidence...that's only saving a dollar a day for a year.  How easy is that?!  

If every member donated just 1 dollar a day that would equal   $12,583,740   :eek:    :scared:

  Just think of the difference 34,000 archers could make!!!

St. Jude is my favorite charity, and the auction here is about the most fun you can possibly have while helping a great cause.  Plus get some great stuff to boot!
The only difference between you and me is I don't like to look at my totals until it's over  :eek:

I first donated to St. Judes a number of years ago as a result of winning an on-line benefit auction where the procedes, just like on TG, went directly to St. Judes.  I have made fairly regular donations since then - I have a real soft spot for sick kids.  Not too many charities make me feel as good as when I help the kids.

X 2 on the above.  If the monies raised for this wonderful charity keep and save a child from passing before the parents, it is worth every penny!

We all never know when the donation we make today,maybe might help your own child tomorrow. I'm sure everybody would donate something if it was there own child who needed it. So maybe we all can dig just a little deeper if we can.
I just love this time of year!!!

I have always given (though not enough probably) to charities, especially children's charities.  But this last year it has hit close to home.  Last October my nephew and his wife had a child.  Within hours of his birth he started having problems.  He was diagnosed with a rare heart disorder.  He had to have heart surgery when he was just a few weeks old and just had his second one today.  If things go as the Doctors plan he will have 2-3 more before he is 15 yrs old.  While my great nephew is not at St. Judes, I hope that everyone bids/donates what they can.  Last time I checked I was still in the lead on one item.  Maybe my money will help someone that needs it like my nephews son.

Just a 10.00 donation would go a long way.

In my mind there can be no greater service in life than to help a child!

First year of involvement is this year, but it will not be my last.  With so many good items, it's hard to decide.  I may just give all my bow money to MK!

It's just money guys, and there is strength in numbers.
