EDITORIAL: On April 22 WTVM and the St. Jude Research
Hospital will give away a $365,000 dream home. That dream home or one of 13
other prizes can be yours but you have to buy a ticket.
And you can buy that ticket for a
contribution to St Jude for only $100. It takes one point three million dollars
a day to operate St Jude for which they provide care that is absolutely free to
the families accepted for treatment.
The kids get great care; the families are
provided housing and food so they can stay with their children while they are
under the care of St Jude.
I have visited the hospital in Memphis and
it is very moving to see the children in the hospital and to see the level of
care they are receiving, and all for free.
Someday you may need St Jude Research
Hospital for your family so make a contribution today. And, by the way, you could win a house. Watch
the drawing live on WTVM, Noon-2:30 on April 22.
General Manager Lee Brantley brings two editorials a week to WTVM. If you would like to respond to an editorial, e-mail your response to WTVM Editorial Committee or write to:
