NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ This past fall was the 28th annual St. Jude Autumn Wine Tasting, a fundraising event in support of St. Jude s mission of curing childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Block O Toole & Murphy has proudly sponsored the event for 14 years; this year, it could not take place in-person because of COVID-19.
The fundraising committee (which includes Partners Jeffrey Block, Daniel O Toole, Stephen Murphy, S. Joseph Donahue, David Scher, and Scott Occhiogrosso) was determined not to let the lack of an in-person event impede their fundraising efforts. Donations are necessary for St. Jude; the hospital relies largely on these gifts to operate and cover treatment expenses, as they never bill the family of a child receiving treatment. St. Jude also uses these donations to fund research that has made a major impact in the lives of the children and families affected by childhood cancer.
