What is the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign?
St. Jude Thanks and Giving is a holiday campaign that brings together celebrities, influencers, media and more than 50 leading national brands to share the St. Jude mission and encourage shoppers from all over the country to make a holiday donation. Every dollar makes a difference.
Whether you’re searching for in-store or online gifts, you can join artists like Jennifer Aniston, Michael Strahan, Luis Fonsi, Sofía Vergara, Yara Shahidi and more in supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food.
