Officials for Window World have announced that the company, over an 18-year partnership, has so far raised more than $19 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The milestone was achieved via Window World Cares, the company’s philanthropic arm, which has undertaken nearly two decades of customer and employee fundraising efforts.
Since partnering with St. Jude in 2008, Window World has remained dedicated to supporting the St. Jude mission for finding cures and saving children. As part of that commitment, Window World pledged $10 million over seven years to fund the Window World Dining Room at The Domino’s Village, the newest short- and long-term patient family housing facility at St. Jude. Recent contributions have already placed Window World ahead of schedule in reaching that goal. The partnership has provided what Window World officials say is critical funding, helping to raise awareness of the hospital’s work in developing research and treatment for kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
“We are incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Tammy Whitworth, CEO of Window World. “The funds raised through Window World Cares represent more than just a number; they represent hope and healing for countless children and families. We are grateful to our dedicated teams across the country, customers, and partners who have contributed to this journey.”
Window World Cares is dedicated to supporting St. Jude through a variety of fundraising events and initiatives, including charity golf tournaments, awareness campaigns and community outreach programs. Customers are given the opportunity to support these efforts by contributing to Window World Cares. These collective contributions help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their children live.
“We are thankful for our partners at Window World, whose incredible support over 18 years has been instrumental in helping St. Jude provide world-class care on a global level,” said Ike Anand, interim CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Fundraising through philanthropic programs like Window World Cares helps accelerate research and treatment for seriously ill kids in the U.S. and around the world.”
