Fredonia for St. Jude will hold its first meeting of the 2013-2014 year on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 8 p.m. and all members of the SUNY Fredonia community interested in performing volunteer work are invited to attend the gathering at Room S226AB in the Williams Center.

All activities held by the campus organization benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tenn. It is the mission of St. Jude to find cures for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases through research and treatment. Families do not pay for treatment received at St. Jude, which relies on donations.

“St. Jude believes that no child should die in the dawn of life so we are working alongside this amazing hospital to ensure that no child does,” said Cassie Partridge, president of Fredonia for St. Jude. “We are a fun group that likes to put the fun in fundraising.”

For more information, contact Partridge at part7591@fredonia.edu.
