JUDE provides ground breaking research that touches lives across the world and right here in MEMPHIS.  This is our fifth year and to break $200,000 is an amazing feat.  It illustrates the passion our Urban brands and personalities have for ST. JUDE's work.  To date we've raised close to three quarters-of-a-million dollars and it's all because of the generosity of our community."  

This years event raised $201,119, nearly doubling last year's total.  The funds are used to support finding cures and saving kids at ST. JUDE CHILDREN's RESEARCH HOSPITAL.
