Up 'til Dawn really put in their efforts to raise such a great amount of money this year with the economy suffering the way it is. We had one donation of $1,000 and another donation of $500. That is outstanding and every single person who wrote letters this year for St. Jude's Up 'til Dawn should be so proud
