  • The Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Jude Fundraiser Happens December 2-3, 2023

    The Rock 'n' Roll St. Jude fundraiser is making a difference for kids with cancer.

    The Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Jude Fundraiser Happens December 2-3, 2023

    Let’s get out in the fresh air and help kids with cancer!

    Once again, we’re excited to be part of an exciting St. Jude fundraiser.  Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio is set to happen on Dec. 2-3, 2023, and this year is extra special.

    It’s the 26th anniversary celebration of the Rock and Roll St. Jude fundraiser, in which runners of all shapes, sizes and abilities hit the road in several sanctioned runs to raise money for children with cancer.

    Runs scheduled for the event include:

    • Marathon
    • Half marathon
    • 10K
    • 5K

    Through sponsorships that the runners arrange, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital receives some of the funding it needs to carry out its critical mission of providing medical care to children with cancer while never charging a penny to those kids’ families.

    More on this St. Jude fundraiser

    This is an event that we always enjoy, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it too.  The Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio fundraiser kicks off with a two-day health and fitness expo.  The public is invited to explore and learn about:

    • the latest advances in running technologies
    • cool new fitness apparel choices
    • health and nutrition
    • specialized topics from interactive displays

    You can learn more about the event at the link above.  If you’d like to register, go here.

    The Rock ‘n’ Roll running event is part of the St. Jude Heroes series.  Other races are held in various parts of the U.S. at different times of the year.  San Antonio is the one nearest our home, so we can’t wait to get there and be part of all the excitement.

    About St. Jude

    St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by actor Danny Thomas in 1962 to focus on catastrophic diseases, especially leukemia and other cancers, in children.

    Located in Memphis, Tenn., the hospital provides zero-cost services to patients up to age 21 and in some cases older.  No parent or guardian of a child treated at St. Jude has ever received a bill for services.

    This upcoming St. Jude fundraiser will help the hospital offset its $2.8 million-per-day operating costs.  It costs a lot of money to do this much good.

    We hope you’ll consider helping St. Jude and the kids by planning a trip to Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio in December.

    TGB Group to sponsor December fundraising event in San Antonio

    Our entire team is very excited to be involved in a great fundraising event to benefit the work at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  You can be part of this event and do something special to help sick children.

    The St. Jude Rock N Roll Heroes series is coming to San Antonio December 5 starting at 7:30 a.m. with fundraising runs of 5K and 10K.  With the donations you collect for being a participant, you’ll be helping the important work at St. Jude.

    You can get more information about the event by contacting TGB Administrative Officer Rebecca Murphy at Sales@TheTGBGroup.com.

    The way we look at it, everyone who gets involved is a winner.  You don’t have to run fast, you don’t have to run long – you can even walk, if you prefer.  Just show up, get on the starting line and do the best you can.  This isn’t about racing, it’s about collecting needed money for all the wonderful services provided by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

    About St. Jude

    St. Jude is a very special place.  They provide state-of-the-art healthcare for children and never charge a penny for their services.  Think back to the last doctor’s appointment or health treatment you had.  Didn’t you think, “Wow, this is expensive!”?  Well, some of the treatments St. Jude provides for children would run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars – if they charged for them.

    Along with treatment costs, St. Jude covers all travel, housing and meal expenses for families when their child is a patient at a St. Jude medical facility.  No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude.

    The St. Jude Mission Statement reads:

    The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.

    Knowing all this, can you spare a little time on December 5 to be part of the St. Jude miracle?  Join us in San Antonio and do something for the children who need you.

    Here’s the St. Jude page where you can sign up.

    TGB Group Supports Those Who Make a Difference

    It’s our way of giving back to our great community

    TGB Group is committed to offering solutions to the many challenges faced by economic development groups and businesses.  This commitment extends to the people and communities who are affected by these challenges and the way they are addressed.

    From sponsorship of area softball teams and food donations to worthy programs to supporting our brave firefighters and helping St. Jude Children Research Center’s fundraising campaigns, TGB Group is creating homegrown value in our area.  We are grateful for the business opportunities that have been afforded to us, and giving back to local programs and organizations is our way of saying thank you.

    We recently were given the opportunity to help the Montgomery County Women’s Center by sponsoring a family of 10.  This included providing toys, household items, clothing and gifts to complete the family’s wish list.  It was a true joy being able to provide for a special family, and we plan to continue adopting families who need a little extra help for many years to come.

    In February, TGB Group sponsored the Southwest Association of Rail Shippers (SWARS) golfing event, which helps support the George J. Elking Jr. Scholarship.  This scholarship award assists those within the SWARS area to further their educational and occupational goals.

    We love the work we do in our business, and we love helping with service opportunities in our local communities.  It’s one of the ways TGB is making a difference in building better connections.
