St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is unlike any other treatment and research facility anywhere. The breakthroughs and discoveries made there have changed the way the world treats children with cancer and other illnesses. St. Jude accepts all patients, regardless of the ability to pay for treatment, making it America's third-largest health-care charity. All proceeds of Lincoln's Trail to St. Jude will go directly to this research hospital to benefit the numerous children who are treated there.

Several other events are fast approaching for the Railsplitter Antique Car Club. The club will have its normal cruise-in during the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival on Aug. 25. Then on Sept. 22, the club will have "Elvis Day" with Elvis impersonator Perry Groves from 7 to 9 p.m.
