Fitness Depot has raised more than $400.00 since it began in 2013. “We look forward to this event to help raise awareness and funds for the kids of St. Jude,” Katherine Parker, event coordinator. “The Workout for St. Jude event brings together health enthusiasts in cities like Ellisville to truly support the mission of St. Jude of finding cures to treat deadly childhood diseases while getting fit.” Since opening in 1962, St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and around the world. No child is ever denied treatment because of a family’s inability to pay. With a daily operating cost of $1.7 million, St. Jude depends mostly on public contributions and fundraising events, like Workout for St. Jude. This Workout for St. Jude event is sponsored by Fitness Depot in both Collins and Ellisville.
