St. Jude in the Big Easy, a Legends for Charity Event, will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the work being done to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade!
The 4th annual St. Jude in the Big Easy will honor Paul Hoolahan, CEO of the Allstate Sugar Bowl, with the Regional Legends for Charity Award for his commitment to elevating athletic programs in Louisiana and spearheading the Sugar Bowl's philanthropic efforts throughout New Orleans.
St. Jude in the Big Easy will take place on Thursday, Sept. 28, at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans. Volunteers are needed from 5 p.m. - midnight, with multiple shifts available. Volunteers will not be required to stay for the entire event.
Volunteers are needed for the following stations:
- Greeting guests
- Registering guests (18+)
- Restaurant pull (18+)
- Jewelry pull (18+)
- Silent auction support
- Auction check out (18+) and runners
- Clean up/break down
The daily operating cost for St. Jude is $2 million, which is primarily covered through contributions through fundraising events like these. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Currently St. Jude is treating 750 patients from Louisiana.
The contribution of your time will go a long way to make this year's event a huge success! Please help us move closer to realizing Danny Thomas' dream that "no child should die in the dawn of life."
