Title: $24,400 to St. Jude CHildrens Hospital
Post by: ron d on January 31, 2011,
That is the total we are having documented as our total raised just here at our show this year. I am still scratching my head at that total of over $24,000!

Thanks to Mr. Jim for helping find us a match as well. Not just for our show but all shows on the Tour!

We had a few other shows here on the Pa. Tour Of Lights with some incredible shows as well as amazing totals as well and raised another $20,000 on top of our shows total.

Over $44,000 in total on the Tour Of Lights that was documented and given to Caties Wish ( www.Catieswish.org ) and in turn helps pay for St. Jude childrens Hospital to operate for 1 day a year (Caties Birthday) in memory of a 7 year old who lost a short battle with cancer.

Thanks to Rj, Kc,DIYLA,DIYC, Frank, Kevin c. and countless others who have helped me with my show in some way.

God Bless,

Ron D.

People are always asking me why I put up some many Christmas lights, invest so much time and effort into something that is only up 2 months a year.  Why do I get so much joy out of it...I simply ask them if they've ever seen a child's eyes light up when the lights come on the Christmas tree.  Sometimes the greatest presents we get are in the eyes of the children. 

Congrats on your awesome accomplishment!  Isn't it amazing that people are so generous to continue to give to help others.

Thanks, another stop on our tour of lights that also had his total  raised documented at over $10,000 this year(his first) helped us as well get to the total we did. 
Lucas on here helped out as well and as part of the tour had his andriod app on all the flyers given out and was a big hit. and also helped people get from one show to another. Even if you have a flyer of your own and just a single show the android app was just cool to see work.
