Steppers Select Charity to Receive BMC Donation
The Red Hot Chili Steppers, winners of the 2019 Step-IT-Up Challenge, recently voted and selected St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital as the deserving charity to receive the $5,000 donation from BMC.
Named for the patron saint of desperate and lost causes, St. Jude takes on the most challenging cases of childhood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. And consistent with the vision of St. Jude’s founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family's ability to pay. No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
The donation could cover the cost of life-saving chemotherapy treatment, or provide ten, one-hour physical therapy treatments to help a child with a developmental, cognitive, or a physical impairment caused by cancer or its treatment.
Congratulations to the Red Hot Chili Steppers for stepping IT up to help save children's lives!
