More than 300 New York City real estate professionals raised $170,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital(R) at the inaugural St. Jude Spirit of Hope: An Evening of BBQ & Blues on October 3 at Manhattan Penthouse.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Events like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all families should worry about is helping their child live.
“Because of the generous hearts of our sponsors, committee members and attendees, we exceeded our fundraising goals while raising awareness for an incredible cause that is helping children in New York and beyond,” said event chair Paul Walker of CBRE. “We are committed to supporting the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and look forward to making this event an annual tradition.”
