On Oct.11, Corvette enthusiasts from across the country drove 28 Corvettes to St. Jude for their annual visit. The Corvettes 4 St. Jude group, led by Jessie Geiger, has participated in the Cruisin’ for St. Jude program for the past eight years.

Cruisin’ for St. Jude is a fun and rewarding volunteer-based motorsports program that helps create awareness and raise funds for St. Jude. Riders and drivers across the country have joined together to hold Cruisin’ events to help in the hospital’s fight against childhood cancer and other deadly diseases.

The Corvettes 4 St. Jude group cruised through campus before stopping to display their Corvettes for staff, patients and families to enjoy. This year, the Corvettes featured various customized themes including colorful butterflies, ladybugs and a show-stopping under-the-hood mural featuring a collage of the hospital, Danny Thomas and the St. Jude Thaddeus statue. This year the Corvettes 4 St. Jude group, Corvette Forum and Corvette Memphis presented the hospital with a check for $76,600.
