The 2nd annual Jerseys for St. Jude fundraising drive to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is under way. It features a series of tournament jersey auctions and prize drawings and will run through the end of March.
Week No. 1 kicks off with eBay auctions for jerseys donated by many notable anglers, including Randall Tharp, Paul Elias, Jonathon VanDam, Jay Yelas, Clark Wendlandt, Greg Bohannan and Jim Tutt. Future weeks will include themed auctions: Classic Week, Western Week, FLW Week, etc.
Those who donate a minimum of $10 to St. Jude will receive entry into a drawing for a prize package including a Dobyns Rod and Rapala, All-Terrain and Team Johnson tackle. There are also packages that feature Rod Gloves and Minn Kota/Humminbird swag and G2 Gemini and Bass Tackle Depot gift certificates. Additional prizes will be added in the coming weeks.
The mission of St. Jude is to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. On average, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital touches the lives of over 7,800 children each year, regardless of a family’s ability to pay for treatment.
Pro anglers and companies wishing to participate in the drive can send an email to JerseysForSt.Jude@hotmail.com.
