During October, Fred’s Minit Mart, LLC, raised $42,700 for the annual
St. Jude Halloween fundraiser. In all, the program raised nearly $4
million dollars.

Customers were encouraged to purchase a $1 or $5 Pumpkin Pinup in Minit
Mart stores throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. The money raised by the
promotion goes to the St. Jude pediatric cancer research center in
Memphis, Tenn.

“Fred's Minit Mart continues to do a great job with the Halloween
program,” said St. Jude Representative Adam Fields. “Each year they go
above and beyond our expectations and help support the life-saving work
done at St. Jude. They are such an enthusiastic group and a model for
all other businesses who participate in this fun-filled, month long event.”

Since being introduced in 1992, the Pumpkin promotion has raised over
$25 million for pediatric cancer treatment and research.

“We’re thankful that we have friends and customers who are willing to
give to great causes like this one,” said Fred Higgins, President of
Fred’s Minit Mart. “It’s easy for us to sell Pumpkins, but it’s our
community that has done the work and we couldn’t be happier to be a part
of it.”

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a leader in pediatric cancer
treatment and research. Discoveries made at St. Jude have greatly
altered how doctors from all over the world treat children with cancer
and other life-threatening diseases. St. Jude is home to some of the
world’s most gifted researchers.
