This year KAY wanted to share the wonder of the season with our patients by using 500 drones to light up the night sky over the hospital in the shapes of patient art and fun holiday scenes.

The star of the show was Harvey the Dog, an adorable replica of the KAY Jewelers plush they sell to benefit St. Jude every holiday season.
Come along on a magical holiday journey with Harvey, KAY Jewelers and St. Jude.

 
 
 
 

St. Jude patient Tyler and his family enjoyed the light show on campus thanks to our friends at KAY Jewelers. Tyler got to see a gingerbread man he painted while he was in treatment at St. Jude hover in lights over the hospital and was even able to talk to a drone show pilot!

KAY Jewelers

Inspired by the courage of the kids of St. Jude, KAY, along with other generous banners within the Signet Jewelers family, embarked on their partnership in caring 25 years ago. Since then, their customers and team members have helped raise more than $100 million.

Those funds have aided many programs of St. Jude including the building of the KAY Kafe and KAY Research & Care Center, which has helped usher in a new era of research, education, collaboration, care and treatment for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

And in 2023 this amazing partner announced a new $100 million commitment that will further advance research and treatment to increase survivorship in the US and around the world, where survivorship rates are much lower, and to enable survivors to thrive.
