Welcome to the first annual SUNDAY PAPER CLASSIC, held at the beautiful Number Thirty Eight bar in Scenic Downtown Denver. 

ALL athlete fees and proceeds for this show will go directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: "The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay." (See more at https://www.stjude.org) We are blessed as athletes to use our bodies for competition, and it is therefore our responsibility to use our talents to bless those less fortunate than us. Please see the link below if you wish to donate directly to St. Jude's: https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/DIY/Active?px=7412811&pg=personal&fr_id=133377
