About St. Jude Thanks and Giving:

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign - created by Marlo, Terre and Tony Thomas, the children of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas - is an annual tradition with tremendous public support for the hospital's lifesaving mission. Kicking off November 1st and running through the end of December, St. Jude Thanks and Giving is an unprecedented union of celebrities, media, retail and corporate partners that ask consumers to donate while they shop to support St. Jude. Everyone can help raise funds that are vital to the research and treatment taking place at St. Jude by visiting participating partners during November and December or donating at stjude.org.

More than 70 leading brands support the campaign, representing a cross-section of premier brands in retail, travel, hospitality and media. These companies help raise funds and awareness for St. Jude through in-store and e-commerce initiatives, specialty merchandise and social media engagement. Thanks to the support generated through campaigns like St. Jude Thanks and Giving, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food-because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
