Grizzlies Assists for St. Jude

---

KIDS COME IN ALL SHAPES & SIZES. SO DOES THEIR CANCER.

Last season, the Memphis Grizzlies and their fans raised more than $25,000 for Hoops for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital program. We’re proud to announce Grizzlies Assists for St. Jude is back! During the games from March 15 through 31, the Memphis Grizzlies are launching the Assists for St. Jude challenge. We are inviting fans to pledge a donation for every assist the Grizzlies record from March 15-31. There are a total of 9 games throughout this span, and the Grizzlies are currently averaging just over 20 assists per game. Your contribution will go towards making sure no family ever receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food while at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Mike Conley has kicked off the campaign with a bang, by pledging $25 per assist the team gets for every game from March 15 through March 31. Not to be outdone by Mike, Marc Gasol has also pledged $25 per assist! This is your chance to get involved and contribute to our Hoops for St. Jude program. Please join us in making a significant impact in the lives of children suffering from cancer and their families.

WHO YOU WILL HELP?

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Results like these take teamwork. That’s why St. Jude joined forces with the NBA in 2009 to create Hoops for St. Jude — our annual, season-long fundraising and awareness campaign that unites the entire NBA community in supporting the St. Jude mission. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. That’s why the support of the entire NBA community is so important.
