BOSSIER CITY, La. – On Monday, the 35th KTBS 3 St. Jude Dream Home was awarded to a generous donor.
Wendy Markham is the lucky winner. But the real winners each year are the kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. Thanks to your generosity, $1.65 million was raised this year for St. Jude. In the past 35 years, more than $44 million has been raised.
This year’s home is valued at $675,000 and is in the Duckwater Landing subdivision in Bossier City. All 16,500 tickets sold out in record time ahead of the drawing. Never have that many tickets been sold. That’s a sign of just how important this project is to our community.
