"Nothing is more meaningful to my wife Holly and me that we can co-chair a weekend of events organized to support the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital," Event co-chair Doug Brooks said, "The advances at St. Jude are helping to save children everywhere, including Texas, because its research is freely shared with other doctors and scientists worldwide.”
