St. Jude Country Cares Advisory Council Welcomes New Members

St. Jude Country Cares Advisory Council
The St. Jude Country Cares Advisory Council came together last week to welcome new members and review a record-setting year for the hospital’s music and audio fundraising efforts.
The council supports program initiatives and strategy for Country Cares for St. Jude Kids, which is one of the most successful music fundraising initiatives in the U.S. with over 200 radio, music and media partners. Each year, the music industry helps to raise more than $70 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to support children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
