St. Jude Benefit

The St. Jude Benefit has become a corner stone at Huggy Bear Campground. The weekend of the St. Jude Benefit is one of the busiest of the camping season. It stretches further than the campers to local communities and beyond. With the help of local businesses and volunteers, Huggy Bear has been able to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to St. Judes Children's Research Hospital. This benefit grows larger every year and will continue to help save lives every day.

The Benefit

The St. Jude Benefit is located at Huggy Bear Campground in Middle Point, Ohio. The benefit spans between two of the front buildings and includes food vendors, concert stage, beer tent, and much more. It is a weekend long event that is full of fun and excitement for the whole family. While Huggy Bear hosts the event, it would not be possible without the help of the local communities. This benefit is open to the public and we encourage everyone to come out and support a great cause.

Showcase of the Bands

The Benefit features a concert stage filled with local musicians and bands that keep the party going all weekend long. The Showcase of the Bands is one of the main attractions of the benefit and provides everyone with great live music. Past benefits have featured musical performances by Nashville Crush, Truck Stop Manner, and Polly Mae.

Raffles & Giveaways

There is always something to win at the St. Jude Benefit. They have raffled away golf carts, guns, cash prizes up to $20,000 and so much more. Try your luck in the Mystery Safe raffle to win a huge gun safe filled with all kinds of surprises. Grab a spot in the Reverse Raffle that has multiple winners, and given $15,000 cash away. The benefit is for the kids, so there are raffles to let kids have the chance to take home a new toy, bicycle, and more! The local companies get in the action by donating goods and services that are up for grabs. The possibilities are endless for what you could win at the St. Jude Benefit.

Local Support & Volunteers

The St. Jude Benefit grows larger every year with more participants, more events, more entertainment, and the need for more volunteers. Huggy Bear works hard every year to make this event better than the last. The goal is to raise money to give to the St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital. Support from the local communities and volunteers are vital to the success of the Benefit. Join in the battle to eliminate childhood cancer and sign up below.
