This year, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital celebrates its 50th anniversary.  It was 1962 that Danny Thomas' dream of creating an institution to battle catastrophic childhood illnesses came true.  And, this week on The Country Station, we are continuing our pledge to help raise money for St. Jude so that "no child may die in the dawn of life."  And, we are raising money in a variety of ways above and beyond our 26-hour radiothon!  In fact, last night, at our 2nd annual 'Denim and Diamonds' concert fundraiser, local artist Aaron Kizer joined us to unveil an exciting piece of artwork we are auctioning for the hospital!  It's currently on Ebay and we want you (and everyone) to check it out!

And, if you wanna see something REALLY cool, watch the YouTube link below.  It's a time-lapse video of Aaron Kizer painting Danny Thomas!  This is AMAZING!!!

This exclusive auction ends at 5pm (CST) on Friday, February 24th, 2012!  PLEASE, spread the word and the link to the Ebay auction site.   Facebook it!  Tweet it!  Shout it through a megaphone!  We want to make BIG bucks off this painting and give every single penny of the proceeds to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!  Finding cures.  Saving children!
