Dick's Sporting Goods

"Every season begins at DICK'S Sporting Goods, including the season of giving. We are so proud of our associates—and grateful to our customers—for helping us collect more than $2.4 million for the lifesaving work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital over the holiday season. It is a testament to the spirit of compassion and generosity that thrives during the holidays that we achieved this in the midst of challenging economic times. We are warmed by thoughts of all the good that these funds will do for ill children and their caring families in 2009 and beyond."  —Joe Schmidt, President & COO, Dick’s Sporting Goods
