The Pilots of FedEx have set another record for fundraising! The Factory Five donation car they built raised a winning bid of $150,000 at last night's St. Jude Memphis JAM Gala Auction. The car debuted a few months ago at the FedEx display at the Midsouth Airshow in Memphis, alongside the Blue Angels display.
This year will be our eighth year and eighth kit donated. All money goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®
The winning bidder asked to have all the St. Jude patients in attendance sign the inside of the hood, and all 10 did so.
