“You can’t help but be moved by the amazing work that St. Jude does,” Rucker told media after last Monday’s festivities concluded. “To raise this kind of money and awareness for them … for the families that rely on St. Jude, it’s just incredible,” he added. “I’m so grateful to all our friends who came out and donated their time to be on the show,” Rucker concluded in his statement.
