Black Warrior Brewing & Druid City Brewing are teaming up with our group of radio stations Thursday night to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

'Pint with a Purpose' will be held at the Black Warrior Brewing taproom on University Blvd. Thursday. From 4-10 pm that day, Black Warrior will donate 20% of ALL SALES to help continue the life saving work going on at St. Jude! What that means is, if you buy a pint of beer, pint glass, t-shirt, whatever... 20% of your purchase will go to keep Danny Thomas' dream alive that 'no child should die in the dawn of life.'

There will be live music from 6:30-9:30 with Sonny Skinner and of course, plenty of beer! Not only can you try all the great offerings from Black Warrior Brewing but just for this event, Druid City Brewing Company will also have a few beers on tap!

Here are a few facts you may not have known about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

  • The daily operating cost for St. Jude is $2 million, which is primarily covered by individual contributions.
  • Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
  • Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened in 1962.
  • St. Jude has helped increase the survival rates for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) from 4% before opening in 1962 to 94% today.
  • St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and around the world.
  • St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs they make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
