St Judes in Action
« on: July 25, 2015, 11:33:00 AM »
In case you needed another reason to support the work of St Judes.  This was a story on the local news in my area of a precious little girl and her family who were helped by St Judes.  I don't think Tradgang could have picked a better organization to support.

Great post. It always feels good to see one of your charities in action. So much better than all those organizations where 90% of the money goes for salaries and admin fees.

What a great story for every Trad Ganger to hear.  That's what keeps us giving year after year.

Yes when I look at how I've been blessed with two healthy young ladies its right to give back for those in need. The families that are burdened with the need for st. Judes deserve to not need to worry about money.

If we have enough interest in posting more items...lets do it the proper way...and not list it in the give aways please.  We have no way of keeping up with true donations if we don't run the proper course and folks will take advantage of you.

If you want to round up a few folks for a 2nd auction that great.

Once everyone has paid and been shipped maybe we should start next year's listing forum at least that way folks could go ahead and list .....and make a smaller banner than we have and then make it bigger as the auction approaches.
