Here come the holidays! Help our kids from your kitchen by clipping and saving those labels!

Many of you know how fortunate we are to have so many supporters who 'clip and save' labels - for all of you who are doing so - THANK YOU!  For those who may not be aware, this is a perfect time of year to help our amazing children and the best part of all - it doesn't cost anything!  Just save your labels and mail them in to us and we'll take care of the rest.  Earlier this year, we took delivery of a BRAND NEW VAN thanks to all those labels and it's sure helped our transportation needs.  Here's to happy holiday clipping!

There are two different programs we participate in -- Campbells Soup Labels (read the full list of products here) and Box Tops for Education (read the full list of products for this program here).

Don't forget as you prepare all those holiday fixings, check the packages, save the labels and mail them in -- we thank you!

Happy Holidays!

Nevada Governor Sandoval Visits St. Jude's Ranch Campus

Thank you Governor!  During a recent visit, Governor Sandoval, a former local Board member of St. Jude’s Ranch (2001) was impressed with all of the changes made and the fantastic growth the Ranch has seen.  He spent nearly two hours visiting with staff and Boulder City Board of Trustees members, touring the campus, seeing one of our homes, our Gift Shop and Auto Museum; he also met one of our long-time donors and dear friends, Uncle Marvin.  It was a spectacular visit!  We are honored the Governor spent so much time and was so genuinely interested in St. Jude’s Ranch, our Mission, our children and the state of Child Welfare in Nevada.
