THE CAUSE ♥♥♥

A portion of all entries will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude's has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened more than 50 years ago. All research and treatment breakthroughs are shared freely to help doctors and scientists save lives worldwide. St. Jude's families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food because of donations like yours! Your entry fee is helping save the lives of little ones!

 

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is especially important to Coach Lynn and Bonnie, the founders of Coach’s Oats. Five years ago, their granddaughter, Mia, was diagnosed with a serious brain tumor and was sent to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Nashville to receive a new and innovative treatment.

 

Mia’s tumor disappeared and she is now able to live a full, normal life with her family. She plays on a basketball team and loves spending time with her two older sisters. St. Jude handled Mia’s treatment, her family’s travel and so much more and never charged them a dime. We are proud to partner with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and continue to tell more stories like Mia’s.
