The Minden St. Jude auction began on KASO 1240 AM radio four decades ago and has grown to become a four-day telethon and raffle that is simultaneously broadcast on the local radio and cable station. Since it’s inception, the Minden St. Jude auction has raised over $20 Million for children’s research benefitting St. Jude, and Minden’s citizens hold the claim of raising more money for St. Jude, per capita, than any other city in the United States of America.

Last year’s event raised an amazing $1,655,349! It is obvious to see that the people of Northwest Louisiana take tremendous pride in this cause because they continue to overwhelming support this event to provide life saving treatments for children suffering with cancer.
