A total of 17,777 tickets were up for grabs this year, each costing $100. They sold out in an hour and a half, record breaking time. Raffle winners will be announced Sunday, May 23.
The tickets are $100 each and go on sale April 14th at 5am mountain time. Be ready because they are limited to 17,777 ticket sales this year. Last year the tickets sold out in hours. 100% of the ticket sales go directly to St. Jude and their life saving work.
Thank you form the bottom of my heart for caring enough to give and keep the life saving work going at St. Jude. In just 2 days and in the year of this crazy pandemic we were able to raise $92,532 to help no child die from cancer.
This is my first time doing a St. Jude radiothon from the DJ booth. It is hard to describe how moving it has been. I have learned so much and I have so much gratitude for St. Jude, their incredible work and the donors like you who make it possible.
In the just over 50 years that St. Jude has been around they have brought the childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to 80% but wont stop until it is at 100%.
Jack is a local Boise teenager who was saved at St. Jude when his rare and severe brain tumor was not responding to over two years of chemo at St. Luke's. Jacks mom Tiffany shared with me the families journey from heartbreaking diagnosis to ups and downs of Jack's experiences.
