American Internet Tech donates to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (September 2023)
A philanthropic tradition continues as art by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® patients were featured throughout the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship, Aug. 10-13 at TPC Southwind. This year’s featured artwork was by St. Jude patients Maelin-Kate and Bridget. Maelin-Kate, along with other St. Jude patients, spent an afternoon receiving golf tips from Taylor Made athlete Collin Morikawa during the 2022 PGA TOUR stop. Art therapy plays a crucial role in the comprehensive treatment plans at St. Jude, where child life specialists help kids to play, express themselves and care for their mental health throughout their time at St. Jude. When families, supporters and researchers walk the halls of St. Jude, patient art greets them through displays in hallways and common areas.
A fusion of philanthropy, pilots and paddles generated greater purpose in August when more than 500 generous donors and community members gathered for the 2023 St. Jude JAM presented by Delta Dental of Tennessee and HH Global. The annual fundraiser, which combines a concert with an auction, is part of a weeklong series of events during the FedEx St. Jude Championship to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®. With a final bid of $125K, the 2023 car auction surpassed an incredible $1 million raised for St. Jude since the first build in 2015. Other unique auction items up for bid included a trip to the Ryder Cup in Italy, Gibson guitars autographed by St. Jude JAM artists and a trip to watch the launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, a Polaris Dawn mission at Kennedy Space Center later this year.
St. Jude Memphis Marathon® Weekend, presented by Juice Plus+ announces new race courses that take participants on a scenic journey through the heart of Memphis to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. This year’s St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend had a fundraising goal of $15 million, which will bring St. Jude even closer to realizing the goals of its six-year, $12.9 billion strategic plan that focuses on accelerating research and treatment to raise survival rates worldwide and improve the quality of life for pediatric cancer survivors.
American Internet Tech proceeds to one more monthly donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital because we can all help make cures possible for kids with cancer by donating to St. Jude.
