Last weekend I was invited to participate in the St. Judes Children's Hospital Leadership Conference. The conference has been held for the last ten years to help prepare college students for the "Up till Dawn" Program. The program is held at over 250 colleges in the United States to help raise money for the hospital and cancer research. The hospital provides top notch treatment for children under 18 years old who have been diagnosed with cancer. During the first ten years of the program, over $33 million has been raised.

I got to speak/perform for over 800 people with my friend Rodger. We were given a tour of the hospital and got a chance to meet and listen to people who have been helped by the hospital and it's programs. The experience was amazing. It felt great to be about of something that was bigger than any individual.
