September - October 2015 Newsletter
Upcoming Events:
* Trike-a-Thon: Sept. 14 - 19, 2015.
St. Judes provides a Curriculum to teach
bicycle safety to children during the week. On Friday,
Sept. 18th families will be asked to bring their children’s
bikes to the Center for our annual Trike-a-Thon to
help raise money for the hospital. We do this each
year because the cost of running the hospital is 1.7
million dollars a day. They rely on donations to cover
this cost, because they do not charge the families for
the care they provide! Please return donation
envelopes by Fri, Sept. 28th (Checks or money orders
should be made out to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.)
Thank you in advance for your help!!
Free Vision Screening: On Sept. 17, 2015 at 9:00am a
