Supermodel Cindy Crawford Partners with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® to Give Away 28 Dream Homes

HollywoodNews.com: Supermodel and home goods style expert Cindy Crawford has partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® to help dozens of lucky people across the country win a beautiful “dream home” valued between $300,000 and $700,000 through the St. Jude Dream Home® Giveaway. By purchasing a $100 ticket, participants can win a home in their community and help St. Jude provide the best care to the world’s sickest children at no cost to their family. The program is personal for Crawford and combines her love of home design with her passion for St. Jude. Not only is she the mother of two children with two successful home collections (Cindy Crawford Style and Cindy Crawford Home), but she also lost her younger brother to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common form of childhood cancer, when she was just 10-years-old. “I know firsthand what it’s like to lose a family member to this terrible disease, which is why I’m so committed to St. Jude’s mission,” said Crawford. “I just love the connection to what I’m doing in my life right now with the home goods business that is all about creating a home for your family. The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway gives families a wonderful opportunity to win their dream home while helping other families battling cancer at St. Jude.” When Crawford’s brother passed away the survival rate for ALL was around just 50 percent. Today, thanks to St. Jude’s pioneering research and care that is made possible through funds received through programs like the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, the survival rate for ALL is 94 percent. “St. Jude is a home away from home for children and families during one of the most difficult times in their lives,” said Richard Shadyac Jr., CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “By purchasing a St. Jude Dream Home ticket, you can help St. Jude continue its commitment to providing the highest quality of care for kids battling deadly diseases like cancer while ensuring that no family ever pays St. Jude for anything.” The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is one of the largest single-event fundraisers for St. Jude, having raised more than $224 million for the hospital and awarded 280 homes over the past 20 years. A limited number of tickets are sold in each of the 28 markets and ticket holders also have the opportunity to win other great high value prizes including jewelry, [...]
