SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FISHIN’ GALORE

Fishin’ Galore is a special event for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (and affiliate clinics) patients and their immediate families. Without our dedicated volunteers this annual event would not be possible. Since 1994, the event has grown significantly and we ask for your cooperation in submitting a new Volunteer Application and work with your Team Lead in order to make the day run as efficiently and safely as possible. The day is all about the St. Jude patients and their families.

Fishin’ Galore is a Private, Invitation Only Program. Volunteers are invited by a Fishin’ Galore Team Lead, the Dream Day Foundation Executive Director or a Dream Day Foundation Board Member. If you have not been invited by a Fishin’ Galore Team Lead, the Dream Day Foundation Executive Director or a Dream Day Foundation Board Member, please give us a call before completing the Volunteer Application.
