This year, we are excited to be back at the Derby on Derby Day for the 7th Annual Jockeys & Juleps! Join us as we raise funds for Phase II of our “Track to the Future” project.

So far, we have raised almost $300,000 toward our goal. To break ground and complete the track project, we need to raise an additional $200,000 this year. With the support of our St. Jude families, parishioners, and community members, we know we can make it happen!

Why Is a Track Needed? What Are the Benefits?

The addition of a track will be a tremendous benefit to our school and our parish community.

• Increases Physical Activity
  Provides a safe, designated space for students, teachers, and parishioners to walk, run, and exercise — promoting lifelong health and wellness.
• Supports Athletic Programs
  Enhances our track and field teams by improving training opportunities and performance. It will also allow us to host elementary track meets, generating additional revenue for our athletic programs and school.
• Boosts School and Parish Spirit
  Brings together students, staff, parishioners and families for meets, pep rallies, and fun runs — creating unity and pride within our entire community.
• Attracts Recognition & Funding
  Enhances curb appeal and strengthens our ability to attract new families, sponsors, local business partnerships, and grant opportunities focused on improving school facilities.
• A Long-Term Investment
  This track will serve our school and parish for generations, providing a lasting resource for students and parishioners alike.

We are already more than halfway to our goal — now we just need your help to cross the finish line!
