It's St. Jude Home Giveaway Day! For those of you in markets who don't participate in stuff like this, my local ABC station raffles off tickets for prizes. The money for the tickets goes to St. Jude Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The biggest prize is a home that is built every year. The second prize this year is a 2021 Ford Escape. There are also two gift cards that are given away. All during the news broadcasts tonight on ABC13.
The sad news is that someone just a few days ago tried to break into the home. They only stole one particular light, which was replaced. This years home isn't quite completed, probably due to setbacks with the virus and all. But it's still a great prize to give away.
Here is Danner Evans anchor of the 5 and 5:30 newscasts with a video on today's events.
