St. Jude Heroes Hospitality Area @ The Renissance Blackstone: SUNDAY
The hospitality space is a pre-race and post-race area where St. Jude Heroes in the marathon can check their gear and receive refreshments before and after the event. It is also a great place for their families and friends can meet them after the race. Our tent is located in the lower level meeting space at the Renaissance Blackstone Hotel (636 S. Michigan Ave). Volunteers will assist with gear check, the runner refreshment area, Hero check-in and cheering on runners as they arrive back at the hospitality tent after the race.
- Volunteer Shifts Sunday: 5:00am - 10:30am & 10:30am - 4:00pm

Mission Statement
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
Description
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Join the St. Jude mission by visiting stjude.org, liking St. Jude on Facebook ( facebook.com/stjude) and following us on Twitter ( @stjude).
