Hear the stories from Marlo Thomas and St. Jude patients from NBC's TODAY show, and get inspired this holiday season to make a difference in the lives of children everywhere.
Each day from November 25 to 28, we are sharing a story of triumph — a story that is possible because of people like you. Check out the TODAY show videos that aired this Thanksgiving week.
These inspiring tales of courage and strength kick off the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. Created in 2004 by Marlo, Terre and Tony Thomas — children of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas — the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign has grown into an annual holiday tradition, thanks to tremendous public support.
During this season of Thanks and Giving, many of America’s most-loved companies make it easy for you to give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not. Browse companies that donate a portion of their sales to help benefit St. Jude.
