JD Burch for St. Jude

Through my annual St. Jude fundraiser, I join the Relay community in raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I started in 2022 with lawn-mowing incentives. Each year brings its own approach; in 2025 and 2026, the theme was Marching for St. Jude, sharing my Michigan Marching Band experience with supporters.
