Vote for your favorite child today!

Just click on the image of your favorite child and carefully follow the instructions.

You have two ways to vote: credit or cash

When you click on a child’s photo below, you’ll be taken to another Web page that gives you two choices. Just clicking on the photo WILL NOT cast a vote!

You can use your credit card securely online or download the official voting form and send it in with your donation. That’s how it works.

Important!

You MUST write the child’s name in the comments section when using a credit card and on the mail-in form so the baby you like gets full credit.

Remember dollars equal votes!

Voting is determined by donations to the WHAS Crusade for Children. The babies who collect the most donations will be the winners.

Meet our first entries!

Crusade pioneer Dave Jones dies

He was there when it all started.

David Laurence “Dave” Jones called the shots and made the TV magic happen for the first Crusade in 1954. He was the director of that television marathon. It was one of his many achievements from a long career at WHAS11.

He passed away on Monday, February 15, 2016. He was 86.

His obituary, as published in the Courier-Journal is below.

Dave Jones RIP

David Laurence “Dave” Jones

JONES, David Laurence “Dave”, age 86, passed away on Monday, February 15. He was a retired producer/director at WHAS Television where he worked for 31 years. He directed the WHAS Crusade for Children, Hi Varieties, Omelet, Small Talk, Here’s Now, Songs of Faith, The Moral Side of the News, The Denny Crum Show, University of Louisville basketball games, news, weather, sports, and other programs. After leaving WHAS he ran the educational television station at Metroversity for 10 years. An avid tennis player, Dave amassed over 40 trophies during his lifetime.

Dave was born in Louisville to the late Chester Owen and Marian Elizabeth (Curry) Jones. A graduate of Louisville Male High School, he attended the University of Louisville and graduated from Union College. Dave was an active member of St. Paul United Methodist Church (since 1936) where he served as Chairman of the Board and in other positions. In 1953 he founded the Motet Singers of Louisville and served as its only director for 58 years. The group was invited to the White House in 1974 to sing at a special St. Patrick’s Day worship service for the President and 200 special guests. In 1964 the National Junior Chamber of Commerce honored Dave as one of the Outstanding Young Men of America.

Survivors include a brother, James L. (Sandra McCutcheon) Jones; sister, Patricia A. Johnson, two sons, Douglas S. (Harriett Traylor) Jones and Steven L. (Catherine Murrell) Jones, a granddaughter, Emma Katherine Jones, and two step-grandsons, Arlie and Michael Williams. He was preceded in death by a brother, Robert O. Jones. He loved dogs and summered in Bay View, Michigan for most of his life.

His funeral service will be at noon Thursday, February 18 at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Rd. with burial to follow in Resthaven Cemetery. Visitation will be from 2-5 and 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at Highlands.

Expressions of Sympathy may be made to the David L. Jones Scholarship Fund for the Youth Performing Arts School (YPAS).
