National Beverage Corp. Pleads for St. Jude Donations

Commemorating its 29th year as a continuing partner of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, National Beverage Corp. asks all to help St. Jude in its lifesaving mission: Finding Cures. Saving Children.

“St. Jude’s dedication to research and patient care has saved countless lives and deserves our unconditional support,” stated Nick A. Caporella, chairman and chief executive officer. “It is an honor and a blessing to advocate for the incredible work of St. Jude as they work tirelessly to end childhood disease.”

Founder and entertainer Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that no child should die in the dawn of life. St. Jude affirms it is a ‘place of discovery, innovation and healing.’ Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

“Together . . . we can make a significant impact on the success of St. Jude’s mission. We ask all this holiday season to join us in doing everything we can to support St. Jude. What greater joy is there . . . than inspiring dreams of a disease-free future for deserving children!” Caporella said.

Donations may be made online at www.stnicks4stjude.com or by calling 1-800-4STJUDE.

National Beverage has been honored by several charitable organizations, including: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The City of Hope, Cleveland Clinic and MD Anderson, in recognition of our commitment to research that has revolutionized the treatment of cancer and other catastrophic diseases. In addition the company supports organizations that provide assistance to active U.S. military along with veterans and their families.

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate in the United States from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since 1962.
