Football legend and new host of LIVE with Kelly and Michael, Michael Strahan and Emmy® and Golden Globe award-winning actress, Sofia Vergara join the star-studded community of prominent personalities lending their time and talents in support of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign. The campaign, now in its ninth year, asks consumers to give thanks for the healthy kids in their lives, and give to those who are not.Starting Thanksgiving week, celebrities will join Marlo Thomas, National Outreach Director for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, and be featured in national television spots and in movie theatre trailers alongside St. Jude patients. Returning to the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign this year are long-time celebrity friends, Jennifer Aniston, Robin Williams, Shaun White and Luis Fonsi.
Since St. Jude opened in 1962, the entertainment community has played a pivotal role in raising awareness and funds for St. Jude."There is no place like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to be a part of this year's St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is humbling and inspiring," said Sofia Vergara. "As a mother and a cancer survivor, I am touched that St. Jude's research and treatment strives to save every child battling cancer and other deadly childhood diseases across America and around the world.""Hanging out with the children and being a part of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is a highlight of my year," said Michael Strahan. "St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a remarkable place – it takes on the hardest cases and no family ever pays St. Jude for anything. I challenge all my fans to support St. Jude this holiday season and beyond to help give these kids another chance to celebrate life."
Created in 2004 by Marlo Thomas and her siblings Terre and Tony, children of founder Danny Thomas, the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign was developed to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude amidst the celebration of the season of giving. Throughout the months of November and December, consumers are asked to shop at companies that display the St. Jude logo and make a donation at the register or purchase specialty items that benefit St. Jude. Consumers are also invited to donate online at stjude.org or by phone at 800-4STJUDE.Since 2004, the campaign has raised more than $312 million. Funds raised through the campaign support the St. Jude mission of finding cures for children battling cancer and other deadly diseases through research and treatment, and impact the lives of children in communities across the country and around the world, as St. Jude openly shares research discoveries directly with doctors and scientists everywhere.
