St. Jude's Fundraisers

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Fundraisers

Every September, Relay organizes a fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This fundraiser raises an incredible amount of money each year. Their lifetime total is over $5 Million raised since!

In 2022, they opened the fundraiser up for individual community members to have their own sub-campaigns. I started a campaign, and in my campaign, for qualifying donations, I would mow their name into a lawn before cutting the grass. I would dedicate that lawn to them and match a portion of their donation. 2022's Fundraiser raised $625.

During September 2023, I ran a similar campaign again. That year, the campaign raised $1,521.01, smashing my total from 2022 by nearly 3x.

In 2024, I continued fundraising, this time with different incentives, and raised $2,147.11.

2025's Marching for St. Jude Fundraiser raised a crazy $2,798.53, bringing the lifetime total raised to $7,091.65. This was an incredibly fun fundrasier to setup and run, and I enjoyed sharing my Michigan Marching Band experience while raising money for a great cause!
