Sofia Vergara, Actress and St. Jude Celebrity Ambassador
For this year's Giving Tuesday, shoppers can check off names on their holiday list while also contributing to a great cause. As part of St. Jude's 19th annual Thanks and Giving campaign, the local non-profit launched a new Winter Wonderland Virtual Store. It's a fun, immersive experience that moves through the St. Jude winter collection, games to unlock exclusive deals, and details about St. Jude's patients and mission.
Shoppers can also browse the limited-edition products sold by participating retailers like Best Buy, Domino’s, HomeGoods, Signet Jewelers, AutoZone, Williams Sonoma, Chili’s, Joann, Claire’s and Melting Pot, among others. Each purchase made from the virtual store or limited-edition product line will go toward helping St. Jude provide cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost, to families around the world.
According to a press release, founder Danny Thomas, actress Sofia Vergara, singer Luis Fonsi, and TV personality Michael Strahan will lead the fundraising campaign this year. “I love being an ambassador of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign each year,” Vegara said. “It’s a great privilege to lend my voice to help spread awareness of the lifesaving work being done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital."
Chip and Joanna Gaines, St. Jude Celebrity Ambassadors
"Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gains, will also join the campaign. “When we met some of the kids at St. Jude, they captured our hearts," they said, according to a press release. "We knew we wanted to be a part of helping this incredible organization. We are honored to support the amazing team at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the lifesaving work being done by the doctors, researchers, nurses and staff.”
