Posted: Updated:

By Melisssa Hiramatsu - email

San Luis Obispo - Students at Cal Poly will be doing their part to help sick kids... by raising money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

From six to 11 tonight... Cal Poly students will be hosting a letter writing campaign to raise money for the hospital.

Every penny from your donation to St. Jude goes to help kids in need.

You're asked to bring at least seven addresses that can be used to send donation letters.

At St. Jude... no child is ever turned away because their family can't pay for treatment.

The event is in the Chumash Auditorium.
