The Gold Rush
Company Profile
The Gold Rush was designed to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. We partner with St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital because of our existing strong relationship with the organization and because we believe they do amazing things for families while also conducting research to cure cancer. Treatment, housing, food, and travel accommodations are often fully covered for patients and their families because of the extensive amount of donations received yearly. Children receive treatment across the nation. Freedom High School has partnered with St. Jude's Research Hospital in the past with previous gold rush events and our charity proms.
​
This year for our Gold Rush event, we hosted a fundraiser night at the Chick-Fil-A in South Riding, VA on Monday 12/16/19. A proportion of the proceeds from that night were put towards our cause. That same week, on Friday 12/20/19 we hosted the gold rush basketball games. There were six games in a double header against rival John Champe High School. These games bring in the most spectators out of any sporting event during the school year.
