St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® will be the primary charity we are raising for at SERE 2009.

This charity was chosen for a variety of reasons:

• They accept children from across the world and no patient ever pays.
• It’s five affiliate care centers cover multiple regions in the Midwest, Louisiana,, Huntsville and Tennessee.
• Their clinical research is aligned with centers in California, producing the 1996 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with the critical work of their Department of Immunology.
• While the organization has corporate sponsorship and grants, they employ 3,300 employees and operate daily at 1.4 million dollars, primarily covered by public contributions.
• Research efforts are directed at understanding the molecular, genetic and chemical bases of catastrophic diseases in children; identifying cures for such diseases; and promoting their prevention. Research is focused specifically on cancers, some acquired and inherited immunodeficiencies, sickle cell disease, infectious diseases and genetic disorders. This work not only saves the lives of children, but the research is put towards adults as well, and has provided key steps in the fight against cancers, MS and organ failure infections.

In the World of Darkness, the default setting is greed and power and the weak and the sick are left behind. We can game there and feel a victory beating those odds, but isn’t it more satisfying to beat them in real life too? Choose any of our SERE 2009 Charity events to enjoy and you’re helping us get closer to a final victory over cancer and AIDS, killers more potent (and far less talkative) than the Strix, True Fae, Maljin or Abyss.

Say it with me. “I may play in a World of Darkness, but I refuse to live in one.”

Enjoy your SERE and thanks.
