Many of you are putting the finishing touches on your holiday shopping. I bet even more of you are thinking - I better START my holiday shopping! With the stores open longer for those late night mall trips, you still have plenty of time. Of course the internet is also a magic point and click to flying down that shopping list!
Once you are on-line, surf on over to the website of St. Jude Children's Hospital. You all know St. Jude for the tireless promotion that actress Marlo Thomas does on the behalf of the organization. Founded by her late father, the legendary entertainer - Danny Thomas, St. Jude has provided treatment, care, and the research to help children with cancer - and even more importantly to help find the cure since it was founded in 1962. This year celebrities Jennifer Aniston, Antonio Banderas, Reggie Bush, & Robin Williams join Marlo to appear in commercials promoting the "Thanks & Giving" Campaign. Donate to give thanks for the healthy child in your life, and help those children that are not so lucky.
With dozens of companies participating, donating has never been easier. From fashion to fudge there are options for everyone. From DKNY to Brooks Brothers to Juicy Couture, from Nike fitness gear to Gund stuffed animals.
One great idea is to order a selection of hand made Christmas tree ornaments. When the ornaments arrive closer to Christmas, make it a tradition for your family to put the St. Jude ornaments on the tree together and take the time to reflect on the blessings you have. Every donation will help a child with cancer and hopefully one day, find a cure.
To see the complete selection, visit St. Jude's website - click Cancer Research to visit. Also, look for products in your favorite stores that benefit St. Jude! You can even follow St. Jude's on Facebook, and be a part of the on-line community.
