Lineworkers and their families had the opportunity to donate to the Climbin4kids fundraiser, which raises funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, at the 2024 International Lineman's Expo.
This year, with the support from Ameren Illinois, lineworkers and their families, the ILRA and vendors, Climbin4kids raised a total of $83,484. At the International Lineman's Rodeo Awards Banquet, Ameren Illinois Journeymen Lineworkers Jason Novak and Paul Koehler and their families presented a check on stage.
Novak and Koehler wanted to thank everyone who helped with Climbin4kids including many vendors, who donated several items for giveaways and raffle drawings for this year's fundraiser.
