A local Mobilian, college athlete and a memeber of Dauphin Way Baptist Church shot 3-point baskets for 30 minutes on Saturday, September 10th at St. Luke's Episcopal High School gym not trying to win a game, but for a very different goal. The event was created in honor of local 4-year-old St. Jude patient, Carson Dooley, recently diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Community members pledged various amounts for each basket made, ranging from 10 cents per basket to $2 per basket MADE - all money going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Carson's honor.

The news spread like wildfire, and the community rallied for Carson and the cause.

"The event was blessed. Prayers were answered," said the basketball shooter. The event creators had a conservative number in mind but knew God really exceeded their expectations with the gift of the basketball player. That idea was exactly how the event got started- "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10.

282 baskets were made during his time in the gym. Estimates from flat and per basket donations have totaled over $5,000. To add your donation in Carson's honor, contact info is below:

$1,000 will go to the Ronald McDonald House, which serves St. Jude patients and families staying in Memphis for treatment that is expected to last eight days to 90 days. The rest will go to St. Jude. (more about Ronald McDonald House)

The event creators have been overwhelmed by the response, but the true beneficiary of these pledges is our community.

About Carson Dooley

Carson is the son of Dr. Adam Dooley, Senior Pastor of Dauphin Way Baptist Church. He is still undergoing treatment, and is doing well. Please continue to keep Carson and his family in thoughts and prayers!

About St. Jude

St. Jude is a hospital without walls. The vast amount of research, treatment protocols and so much more is openly shared with the entire world. Unfortunately, the Mobile/Baldwin county area has over 100 patients currently being treated by St. Jude. However, because of the free sharing, most of those patients are treated on an outpatient basis.

At St. Jude, no child is ever turned away based on their inability to pay. Families are never sent a bill because St. Jude will cover costs that insurance won't. The families are also taken care of while at the hospital from groceries to transportation and much more so that everyone can focus on the most important thing - saving the child's life.

It takes over 1.7 million dollars to operate the hospital daily. Most of those dollars come from public contributions.

MORE ABOUT ST. JUDE

Check out this 95 KSJ / Veet's Star Guitar.  This guitar has been autographed by many of Nashville's stars, and we will continue to add signatures all year.  During our next radiothon for St. Jude, you'll have the opportunity to win this one-of-a-kind guitar.  Cherck back here for more Star Guitar updates!

Some of our biker friends were kind enough to present the $17,000 check to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

Their trip included a tour of the hospital, some members giving blood and platelets, as well as a ton of fun, and of course you can't go to Memphis without grabbing some BBQ!

Mmmm...Rendezvous Ribs! Hungry yet???

Out on Beale Street!

The group was also able to visit a St. Jude patient from Mobile currently being treated at the hospital. There are currently over 100 St. Jude patients from the Mobile/Baldwin County area (not all being treated in Memphis). Please continue to keep our kids in your thoughts. This hits so close to home for all of us!

Also, during the hospital tour, the group found a new statue dedicated to Mobile!

ACM LIFTING LIVES & ACM ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR TAYLOR SWIFT PARTNER FOR $50,000 GIFT TO ST. JUDE

ACM Lifting Lives Entertainer of the Year Matching Gift Presentation Made at Swift’s First Stateside Stadium Show for SPEAK NOW World Tour

ACM Lifting Lives® partnered with Entertainer of the Year, Taylor Swift, to donate $50,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on Saturday. The donation is for the ACM Lifting Lives Entertainer of the Year Matching Gift program, wherein the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year is invited to impact a philanthropy of his/her choice with a special gift that uplifts through the power of music, with the Academy matching funds for greater impact.

Erin Spahn, Executive Director ACM Lifting Lives, was on hand at Swift’s sold-out stadium show this Saturday at Detroit’s Ford Field, where she congratulated Swift again for her ACM Entertainer of the Year win and presented her with a $25,000 check for St. Jude, Swift’s chosen philanthropy for this gift. Swift also came prepared with her own personal check to St. Jude for $25,000, to bring the evening’s total to $50,000. Swift has donated more than $1 million to charity in the past year alone, including more than $750,000 raised for victims of the recent tornados in the Southeast and $500,000 last year to Nashville flood relief efforts.

This is the third year the ACM Lifting Lives Entertainer of the Year Matching Gift program has been in existence. Past recipients of the grant have included the C.A.T.S. Foundation, Community Foundation for Middle Tennessee and MusiCares.
