Help fight childhood cancer by sending out a text message! 

On Saturday, November 5th, if you text the word "HERO" to 50333 (and reply yes), an automatic $5.00 donation will be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The donation will be charged to your monthly phone bill, and will help in the fight against childhood cancer. This is taking place all over the world, so please invite your friends! (https://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=168008943292870) You are able to text up to 5 times, which can help save the life of a child with cancer. Thank you for helping the kids at St. Judes, and if you have any questions please contact Tim Reynolds at ithaca.uptildawn@gmail.com.
