Larry Zigerelli the Chief Executive Officer of Levitz was thrilled to say that “we are pleased to have been part of the fun at this year’s Daytime Emmys, this collaboration was a huge success and we’re pleased to donate these funds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where we know the money will be well spent.”
The chair went on live auction at charitybuzz.com and sold for an amazing amount of $1200. That $1200 will be going straight to the St.Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital based in Memphis, Tennessee who was founded by the late, great actor and entertainer Danny Thomas. St.Jude Children’s Hospital is one of those amazingly recognized institutions throughout the world, that allows families who have children with cancer and other diseases come there without the worries of having to pay if they are not covered by medical insurance. The families that need the help from St. Jude’s are never asked to pay anything if they are not covered.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is one of America’s third largest health care charity organization. Just by direct mail alone, more than 71 million pieces are sent out to donors and prospective donors around the nation each year. 525,000 new donors come out of this with each donating around $22. With this program to raise money for those children and families who do not have the money to get top quality care, almost $83 million a year comes from direct mailing. That’s just pennies when you realize that on a daily basis, St. Jude’s budget is $1 million a day. That’s nothing however when you think of all the children benefiting from each donation given.
