The first St. Jude Million Quarter Challenge is over and the Kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are the real winner!

However, who claimed “bragging rights”?

Eleven local bar-restaurants took part from the start of the challenge. A few more locations got involved later in the collecting time.

Here are the locations listed form highest to lowest in quarters collected…

• The Windjammer Lounge – 8,798 quarters
• The Spotted Dog – 7,028 quarters

Don’t forget Tito’s Vodka got the ball rolling with a donation of 4,000 quarters! That brings the total quarters collected to 29,776!!

That’s $7,445 going to help the children and families of St. Jude!

The Windjammer Lounge can claim “bragging rights” for collecting the most quarters, but as stated earlier it’s the kids of St. Jude that are the real winners!

Thanks to all who participated and donated in the St. Jude Million Quarter Challenge.
