 Come and enjoy the "Super Cruise for St. Jude," starting at 5
p.m. and ending at 9 p.m. There will also be live entertainment by
the Country Thunder band, beginning at 6 p.m. O'Donohue's Hot Dogs &
Soda Fountain will host a bake sale and a silent auction, and the
Girl Scouts will also get into the festivities with a car wash at
Neal Tire, starting at 11 a.m. The Lincoln Fire Department and the
Logan County Paramedic Association will be on hand to promote
community awareness during the event. Finally, there will be a 50-50
drawing and a raffle to benefit St. Jude as well. Raffle prizes
include a St. Jude quilt and a GPS setup valued at $500.
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.
