Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation Trustees present a "big" $30,000 to St. Jude

Children's Research Hospital.

From brightly painted and decorated walls to transportation via red wagons, laughter is heard in the halls at St. Jude despite the seriousness of children's lives.

This sculpture of two children was in the entrance way that greets the patients at St. Jude. All areas of the hospital are covered with happy murals and items to make one enjoy their surroundings.
