February: A Month of Love for Causes We Support

An amazing range and a rich history combined in one place! The Great Smoky Mountains Association depends on the generous support of donors to preserve the Smokies for generations to come.  The mission of the Great Smoky Mountains Association is to support the preservation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Since its founding more than 65 years ago, the Great Smoky Mountains Association has contributed more than $46 million to the park’s programs and preservation. That’s a huge sum of money and worth every penny.

Marissa, a Project Manager at Market Veep, nominated the Great Smoky Mountains Association for inclusion in the 50x52 program. As a lifelong frequent visitor of the national park, protecting the majesty of the Smokies is a cause that’s extraordinarily important to her.

“I’ve been going to the smokies ever since I was a kid so it holds a special place in my heart. I think it’s so important to preserve the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains and protect the bears, deer, and other critters that call it home.” We couldn’t agree more! Thanks, Marissa! Your cause has inspired us.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Mission: 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. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family's ability to pay.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital finds cures and saves children. How could we not support so great a cause? Founder Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” When kids have cancer, disease, or any life-threatening illness, St. Jude Hospital is there to help. Unlike other hospitals, the majority of their funding comes from individual contributions. And those gifts mean that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. What better way to “Be Kind” or “Do Good” than to save the life of a child?
