Community Involvement: The Center donates thousands of dollars annually through its participation with the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by hosting a St. Jude Trike-a-thon. The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.
Since 2006, we have raised over $106,723.00 which is outstanding for our learning center. We hope that this year we can again raise the necessary funds to help in the fight against children’s cancer. This is an exciting event for our students and at the same time it is teaching them to give of themselves to others, especially the children of St. Jude Hospital. Thanks for your support in advance. All children are encouraged to participate.
