The 2nd Annual St. Jude?s Children?s Research Hospital Trike-A-Thon

The Bahamas is all set to return to Sandyport on Friday January 27 to raise money for St Jude?s Hospital- the world?s premier center for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.



Organizers hope to repeat last year?s tremendous success where preschoolers from Tambearly and The Meridian Schools raised over US$13,000.
At St. Jude?s, no child from anywhere in the world is ever denied treatment because of the family?s inability to pay. As a result, St. Jude?s relies heavily on community-based fundraising programs around the world like the Trike-A-Thon.
There are currently two active St. Jude patients from the Bahamas.



Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, has returned as main sponsor and the line-up of participating schools has expanded with the coming on board of the Lyford Cay International School.


The event runs from 9am to 12:30pm under the theme ?Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not.?
