MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Now in its thirteenth year, the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign has transformed the holiday season into a time of giving thanks by raising awareness and funds for the ongoing battle to end childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Throughout November and December, consumers are asked to support the campaign by shopping at more than 70 leading national brands and sharing what they #GiveThanks for using social media. What began as a holiday-focused fundraising effort by St. Jude has now grown into an annual tradition that unites celebrities, media, retail and corporate partners to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign embodies the true spirit of the holiday season," said Marlo Thomas, National Outreach Director for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "Through this vital annual program, we give thanks for the healthy kids in our lives, and give to those who are not. Each year, we are also deeply grateful to all those who open their hearts to the children of St. Jude and, in doing so, enable our doctors and scientists to continue their groundbreaking research, which leads to lifesaving treatments for our patients. Because of that support, we are able to hold fast to our founding promise that no family receives a bill from St. Jude for anything -- not for treatment, travel, housing or food -- because all a family should worry about is helping their child live." Campaign partners represent a cross-section of brands including retail, restaurant, travel, hospitality, media and beyond. Top returning campaign partners include Kmart, Best Buy; Kay® Jewelers; ANN INC.; HomeGoods; Domino's; Chili's Grill & Bar; New York & Company; Williams-Sonoma, Inc.; AutoZone; Carnival Cruise Line; Dollar General; Brooks Brothers; Christopher & Banks; GNC; Claire's; Mazda; Marshalls; and HSN, to name a few. "Kmart's customers and associates are once again honored and inspired to support St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital through the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. As Kmart approaches the $100 million lifetime donations benchmark, we are thankful and humbled by the generosity we have generated from our partnership campaigns and look forward to another successful holiday season. Our commitment to St. Jude is fueled by the unmeasurable dedication, passion and love that is exemplified by the families and staff of St. Jude each and every day," said Alasdair James, President and Chief Member Officer at Kmart. This year, St. Jude partners are expanding their efforts and supporting the campaign in a variety of ways – from in-store fundraising to unique cross-promotions, events and online/mobile features. New partners joining the campaign include Zales, Piercing Pagoda, 7-Eleven, Lane Bryant and Toys"R"Us. Other partner highlights include:
The campaign receives a boost of awareness from national theatre partners including Regal Entertainment Group, Cinemark USA, Carmike Cinemas, Malco Theatres and many others that showcase a star-studded St. Jude Thanks and Giving trailer. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines provide support via in-flight video promotion, inclusion in their in-flight magazines and social media. In addition, AccentHealth, America's leading waiting room media network, also shows the St. Jude PSA in physician offices around the country. "Each year our St. Jude Thanks and Giving partners unite millions of people for one purpose, to help St. Jude find cures and save the lives of children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases," said Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "This holiday season we give thanks for that support, which enables us to help the many families who turn to St. Jude for lifesaving care and groundbreaking research for their children."
