Hundreds of St. Jude ALSAC employees gathered Friday, Sept. 11, on the road between St. Jude Place and the Domino’s Event Center to cheer on an event that has been occurring for two decades.

St. Jude Rides featured more than 300 motorcyclists and hundreds of others from across America, who met at the campus to fundraise for St. Jude.

Mike McCoy, founder of St. Jude Rides and emeritus member of the ALSAC/St. Jude boards of directors and governors, said the event raised more than $1 million. St. Jude officials confirmed that they reached their $1.4 million goal.
