EP 77: Tony Raucci & St. Jude Connection
Meet Tony Raucci - a man whose heart, dedication, and tireless commitment have helped bring hope to children and families facing childhood cancer. Tony is the founder and president of the St. Jude Connecticut Network, which he established in 1995 to unite fundraising efforts throughout the state in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. For more than 30 years, he has worked passionately to raise awareness and vital funds for St. Jude’s lifesaving mission. Through music festivals, benefit concerts, community celebrations, silent auctions, and creative fundraising events, Tony has brought countless people together for one powerful purpose: helping children fighting cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. His long-running music festival at Lyman Orchards has become a beloved Connecticut tradition, combining family, music, community, and compassion. In this heartfelt conversation, Tony shares what first inspired him to become involved with St. Jude, the unforgettable children and families who have touched his life, and why he has remained so devoted to this mission for more than three decades. Tony’s story is a beautiful reminder that one caring person—with determination, faith, and a willingness to serve—can inspire an entire community and help change lives. Join John and Joyce for an uplifting episode about compassion, generosity, hope, and the extraordinary difference we can make when we come together for a cause greater than ourselves.
