Employees from Munch’s Supply, a leading Midwest-based HVAC distributor, participated in St. Jude’s Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer on Sept. 21 at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

For the past six years, Munch’s Supply has participated in the event. “We’re proud to work with our employees and customers, continuing this annual tradition to help the children of St. Jude,” said Keith Kramer, president of Munch’s Supply.

Working together as a team, Munch’s Supply raised almost $7,000 through fundraising, employee raffles and branch collection boxes. What’s more, Munch’s “Diamond Dollar” campaign gave customers the opportunity to participate by purchasing diamond-shaped donation cards to display at the branches.

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. Founded by Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
