Join young professionals in the fight against childhood cancer. Make friends as you help raise funds to support the life-saving work done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We are a network of young professionals committed to raising funds – and having fun – for the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Our goals are threefold: to raise funds to assist in the daily operating costs
of the hospital, to increase awareness of St. Jude in the Chicago area, and to create an exciting environment where young professionals can gather. Jude Children's Research Hospital is located in Memphis, Tennessee, it truly is a local cause. Terminally ill children from our city and around the country have been admitted to the hospital, regardless of age, s*x, race, religion or ability to pay. In addition, important research from the hospital is shared freely and immediately with medical institutions in our region and throughout the world. No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for their child's medical treatment. But we need your help! Daily operating costs of the hospital have exceeded $1.8 million, requiring consistent and continued charitable support. The continuity of this essential service hinges on developing passion in and communicating awareness to future leaders in government, business and non-profit organizations. The good news is that our organization is focused on fun. Happy hours, social events and a major gala in September provide young professionals a chance to have fun, meet new people and support this amazing cause. What more could you ask for?
