It is time for T&T Stable’s 20th annual Chase Hall Memorial “Saddle Up” for St. Jude Trail Ride. This year’s “Saddle-Up” will be held Saturday and Sunday. This event, with the help of the community, has successfully raised over $165,000 for the children.

St. Jude Children’s Hospital is a world leader in the fight against childhood diseases like cancer and AIDS. No family ever pays for treatment not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay.

This year is a greater challenge for our community. Our declining economy is definitely making an impact on our small town. However, we need to realize these families with sick children need our help financially more than ever. By giving your support, you are helping hundreds of children who come to St. Jude Children’s Hospital every day hoping for a cure.

Any type of donations you can give for this heartfelt event is welcomed. Any of the following would be greatly appreciated:

• Food or paper products for the cookout;

• Prizes for the riders (to show our appreciation);

• Silent auction items;

• Monetary gifts (will fully proceed St. Jude Children’s Hospital).
