Happy Halloween!
Thank you for visiting our display! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did crafting it.
This year, we discovered of a nationwide group of Halloween fans working together to collaboratively raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through their Halloween displays. This group, called Skeletons for St. Jude - was started by the Robertson family in Holly Springs, NC in 2020 - raised $8,200 for St. Jude over the course of a few weeks. In 2021, they leveraged social media to expand their campaign into a nationwide effort. By Halloween 2021, there were over 400 homes across the US (in every state but five) with the St. Jude donation sign in their yards. The campaign ended with over 2,000 generous donors providing funds - resulting in a staggering $152,000 (in only 39 days) including a generous matching donation from The Home Depot of $45,000.
This year, we're joining Skeletons for St. Jude in hopes that our display can help make even the smallest positive impact toward this organization's mission.
Every single donation to St. Jude makes an impact.
- Thanks to you donors like you, no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
- Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
- 100% of the donations go directly to St. Jude (they also supply a tax deductible receipt delivered to your email).
Thank you for stopping by - and for taking the time to learn about our efforts! Any support (big or small) you would like to contribute, is appreciated more than you know. We hope you have a fun & safe Halloween!
