One Goal

The Atlanta community came together again this year, raising over $240,000 to end childhood cancer. Park’N Ticket is honored to sponsor the Kids Zone each year providing a fun space for this uplifting event.  We are so thankful for St. Jude and everyone who participated in the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer event.

Everywhere you looked, superheroes, fairies, and wild animals were smiling, excited to show off their incredible face painting.  Our unbelievably talented artist always has a line of kids waiting patiently.  A photo op at our silly photo booth was a hit with everyone thrilled to capture a fun memory of the day.  Runners with wigs, glasses, and capes posed with their team mates and family members proudly posed.  Be sure to download your photo from our Facebook album from the day.

The big winner went home with a new Amazon Echo, his name being pulled from our raffles tickets.  Everyone who participated went home with free parking from Park’N Ticket airport parking as a THANK YOU! 

Our entire Park’N Ticket team is inspired by all the heroes involved in St. Jude.  We have all have one goal, to end childhood cancer.  Thank you for supporting St. Jude!

St. Jude Success!

Park’N Ticket Airport Parking is so proud to have been a part of the St.Jude Give Thanks Walk.  The Atlanta event raised more the $200,000 for the kids of St. Jude, with the help of over 2200 walkers.  This charity walk was an incredibly positive and fulfilling event and we were honored to be there. 

Our Park’N Ticket team had such a blast sponsoring the Kid Zone.  We painted dozens of smiling faces and handed out balloons to excited participants.  We met the walkers at the finish line and greeted each with a “thank you”.  They gave this event it’s “legs” and made it happen. 

Park’N Ticket was happy to donate $5,000 to St. Jude and raised an additional $1,200 with the help of our generous Park’N Ticket guests.  This disease has affected the lives of many in our family and team.  This walk was very personal for us and we truly appreciate all who took part in it.

More than 66,000 St. Jude supporters in 65 communities across the county participated in the walk, raising more than $8 million.  Way to go! The funds they raised will help St. Jude change the way the world treats and defeats childhood cancer in our community and around the globe.

How wonderful to know that because of donations like yours, families will never receive a bill from St. Jude!


Information from St. Jude:

·         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 is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
·         St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
·         Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from individual contributors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most – saving kids regardless of their financial situation.

·         St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that “No child should die in the dawn of life.”
