Tony and Mindy Kushniroff had long been fans of Randy Owen and Alabama not only for his talent but also they knew of Owen's philantrophical nature.

OUR WALL OF SUPPORT 

 

The St. Jude Lady’s Wall of Support is, for now, a beautifully imagined virtual monument — a digital landmark built to honor generosity, faith, and the unshakable spirit of community. Designed as a long sweep of polished black granite with gold engraving, the future physical wall will stand as a permanent tribute to those whose compassion fuels the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Across the base, the inscription “These are the First One Hundred Supporters” serves as both a promise and a proclamation. Every name that will one day be etched into that stone represents a story of hope, a choice to give, and a ripple of kindness that reaches far beyond Henagar, Alabama. Though the wall currently exists only here on this website, its purpose is already alive — and its future construction remains a heartfelt goal.

At the center of this unfolding legacy is Patricia Woods Barbee of Greensboro, North Carolina, the very first donor whose name shines proudly at the top. Her generosity marks the beginning of a tradition that will grow one supporter at a time. The design itself invites reflection: flowers blooming at the base, a butterfly resting gently nearby, and visitors pausing to read the inscription — symbols of renewal, grace, and the enduring mission of St. Jude.

More than a monument, the St. Jude Lady’s Wall of Support is a gathering place for gratitude. It connects donors, volunteers, families, and friends who believe in compassion as a calling. As the wall expands, it will continue to tell a story — name by name — of people who chose to stand for healing, hope, and love that lasts.

Only the first 100 donors who purchase a hard‑cover keepsake copy of Dr. Mindy Kushniroff’s Second Edition of “Becoming the St. Jude Lady: A Journey in Faith, Loss, and Giving” will have their names engraved on the wall. Each book will be personally inscribed by the author, becoming both a treasured keepsake and a symbol of the donor’s place in this legacy.
