After a summerlong fundraising campaign, Munch's Supply will donate $75,391 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to support its pediatric cancer care and research.

HVAC distributor Munch’s Supply was the largest fundraising team in the Chicagoland area for the fourth consecutive year. The campaign drove donations among customers, employees and vendors through raffles, a 5k run/walk, online support and a third-annual golf outing.

“Our team and customers consistently show incredible heart and generosity,” said Steve Raimondi, regional vice president. “Being part of a community that rallies around such a meaningful cause is truly inspiring. The support for St. Jude makes a real difference, and we’re proud to stand behind it.”

The annual St. Jude fundraising effort is an integral part of operations for Munch’s Supply, which has been donating for more than a decade to the hospital’s mission of curing pediatric diseases. The company’s contributions help St. Jude fulfill its goal of treating sick children but never sending their families a bill, so that parents can focus simply on their child’s wellbeing.

It currently costs more than $2 billion to run St. Jude each year, most of which comes from donors such as Munch’s Supply. Donations are used to research, treat and hopefully eliminate tragic diseases such as childhood cancer.
