Jake Owen is Teaming Up with St Jude for Monster Jam on Jan 17th

Feld Entertainment®, the global leader in live touring family entertainment playing stadiums and arenas around the world, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® are expanding their partnership to continue to support the St. Jude mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®

Over the past three seasons, Supercross has raised more than $300,000 for St. Jude through various activations including the This Shirt Saves Lives campaign.

New this season, Monster Jam will join the movement and help push fundraising to a new level. Each of the seven domestic Monster Jam tours will have a driver-athlete as a dedicated St. Jude ambassador to help raise awareness. Feld Entertainment hosts 17 events with Supercross in stadiums and over 300 events with Monster Jam in arenas and stadiums. Fans of Supercross and Monster Jam® can support St. Jude when attending events in 2020 through the text to donate campaign to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all they should worry about is helping their child live.

“Both as a family owned business and one that creates events for families, supporting St. Jude is a powerful way to honor our company’s mission to uplift the human spirit,” said Kenneth Feld, Chairman and CEO for Feld Entertainment. “We’ve seen the enthusiasm for St. Jude from our fans and Feld Motor Sports associates grow through our relationship with St. Jude and Supercross over the past three years. This year, we are eager to extend this effort across our motorsports tours with the addition of Monster Jam events in 2020, building awareness of St. Jude’s remarkable lifesaving work. We intend to reach our goal of raising more than $500,000 this year to positively impact St. Jude patients and their families through our live events.”

Ryan Dungey, 4-time AMA Supercross Champion, was recently presented with the 2019 St. Jude Ambassador of the Year award alongside Gabe, a St. Jude patient, motocross racer and Ryan’s biggest fan. Gabe has a very special friendship with Dungey who has hosted him and his family at many events. In fact, Dungey was recently by Gabe’s side as he took his first steps without the aid of a walker, a monumental feat for Gabe, nearly two years after brain surgery left him paralyzed. Dungey is the first Supercross athlete to receive this distinguished honor, which puts him in great company with other celebrity ambassadors, including NFL Hall of Fame member Michael Strahan, country music superstar Jake Owen and award-winning actress Jennifer Aniston.
