When the Inspiration 4 space mission launches later this year, it will include two St Jude Children's Research Hospital crew members. And yes, you could be one of them.

Jared Isaacman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Shift4 Payments, a St. Jude partner, will pilot the mission, and he will give two of the four crew positions to St Jude. According to a press release from St Jude "One will be awarded as part of a sweepstakes and St. Jude fundraising initiative in support of the nonprofit’s multi-billion dollar expansion to accelerate research advancements and save more children worldwide. The other will go to a St. Jude mission ambassador who exemplifies the courageous vision upon which St. Jude was founded." The crew seats will be named  Leadership, Hope, Generosity, and Prosperity, in honor of the mission of St Jude.

Isaacman has long been a supporter of St Jude and has personally committed $100 million to their mission to end childhood cancer. He is also inviting all of us to help raise upwards of $200 million or more to help in the important fight against this insidious disease.

The public can enter to win a crew seat throughout the month of February at Inspiration4.com. For a donation of $10 minimum (but we KNOW you'll want to give more!) you can be entered to win a crew seat on this historic mission to space. It's just one of the ways that you can help in the fight against childhood cancer, as we carry on our campaign here in Acadiana to fight for the kids at St Jude Children's Research Hospital!.

Inspiration4 will be featured in a 30-second TV spot during the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl LV this Sunday. Check out the video below for a sneak
