Window World Hosts Holiday Event at St. Jude's

More than 110 Window World employees, families and friends recently gathered at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the annual Window World St. Jude Day, a holiday party filled with games, gifts and activities for patients and their families. During the festivities, Window World Cares, Window World Inc.'s charitable foundation, presented the hospital with a check for more than $2.8 million representing the total amount raised to date to support continued research and treatment of childhood cancer.

“St. Jude is truly a place of miracles,” said Tammy Whitworth, chairman and CEO of the replacement window company and co-founder of Window World Cares. “I am continually overwhelmed by St. Jude’s medical breakthroughs and stories of hope, and we are honored to be a part of it.”

Earlier this year, Window World Cares launched the ‘One More Day’ campaign, a fundraising plan dedicated to providing St. Jude with a full day of operating expenses, equivalent to $1.8 million. Thus far, the foundation, through the support of the company and its 200+ franchisees, has raised enough to fund one full day and has procured an additional $1.1 million to be put toward a second day, it reports.

To honor Window World’s ongoing commitment to St. Jude, the hospital announced in November that Window World would be included on its Corporate Partnerships Wall for a third consecutive year. Those added to the wall are chosen based on their dedication to support St. Jude through fundraising and donation efforts.
