Acadiana Sells Out — $1.5 Million Going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

The full allotment of tickets for this year's Dream Home sold out just in the nick of time. That means about $1.5 million is being sent to help the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. And, of course, as many of us know, there are countless patients from Louisiana who continue to benefit from the life-saving work being done on the St. Jude campus.
