ST. JUDE: A thank you to our community

The fundraising team at Empire Airlines is reaching out to give our community and fellow employees a huge, heartfelt “Thank you!” for making our St. Jude fundraiser event a resounding success. Empire Airlines matched every penny, and St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital will be receiving $21,663.50.

We were truly touched to see the outpouring of love for this charity; people drove from near and far, some just to put hard-earned money straight in our donation jar. Many customers rounded up on their purchases so St. Jude’s would get their change as well. Thank you to everyone who gave their time, money and items for donations for making our fundraiser a triumph beyond what we thought was possible.
