The 2016 SGIA Expo (September 14–16) took over Las Vegas last week, during which SGIA conducted its first-ever on-the-floor attendee survey. SGIA would like to extend special thanks to the 2,815 survey participants who contributed their time — your continued support has allowed SGIA to give $2,815 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness month.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a nonprofit pediatric treatment facility founded in 1962, is dedicated to the advancement of cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. No child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.

Every survey participant throughout the course of the trade show received an “Expo Contributor" ribbon to attach to their name badge, and each ribbon represented a contribution to the care and treatment of sick children.
