We have this program at my old school. You have to really have people committed to fundraising because it is a long process. We had letter-writing campaigns, rockathons to raise money, etc. A lot you can do is raising awareness of what the Hospital is all about. Many people don't know. The hospital is a fabulous one for kids' cancer treatment, a great cause to support.
[Side Story]: A good friend of mine from college was a patient at St. Jude's. She had several brain tumors and was operated on and treated there. It's a great place to be treated; wonderful treatment for children. Although Somer is no longer with us, I know that she was given the best care at St. Jude's and I will always support their organization. [/end story]
