St. Jude is one of the premier centers for research and treatment of catastrophic diseases. Founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas, St. Jude has treated more than 19,000 children from all over the world.
The Minden St. Jude auction began on KASO 1240 AM radio three decades ago and has grown to become a four-day telethon and raffle that is simultaneously broadcast on the local radio and cable station. Since it's inception, the Minden St. Jude auction has raised over $4 Million for children's research, and Minden's citizens hold the claim of raising more money for St. Jude, per capita, than any other city: $40 per person.
