23 December 2009 NYSE Opening Bell St Jude Hospital

St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital visits the NYSE to recognize the organizations philanthropic initiative during this holiday season. In honor of the occasion, a local St. Jude patient rings The Opening Bell®, joined by his family and members of the St. Jude Wall Street Committee.
On November 30, The New York Stock Exchange held its first Floor Brokers Charity Trading Day to unite customers, brokers and the Exchange for the purpose of helping children battling cancer and other deadly diseases at St. Jude. NYSE Euronext donated to St. Jude all of its net transaction fees for orders that day by floor brokers in NYSE and NYSE Amex securities.

St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatments not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the familys inability to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization. For more information, please visit www.stjude.org.
