Hunters from all over the country can come together to help fight childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases at the annual Average Hunter St. Jude Auction. This year’s online auction kicks off on Sunday, March 17 and runs until Sunday, March 31.

Featuring hundreds of items and even an African safari, the auction includes items of all price ranges so everyone is invited to participate. There’s also a raffle for three Elite compound bows. (Bow raffle prices: $25 per ticket, $100 for five tickets. There will be a total of 196 raffle tickets sold.)

“The Average Hunter St. Jude Auction is a small yearly auction developed to bring the hunting, fishing and outdoors industries together for one event to raise money to help this great cause,” said Average Hunter Founder Matt Staser. “There are many reasons why St. Jude needs support from the community. Did you know that no patient or even parent has to spend a dime during treatment? Even the parents get their travel, living and food paid for while their child is being treated at St. Jude Children's Hospital.”

“St. Jude is also leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” Staser continued. “Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from individual contributors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situations.”
