In recognition of the contributions Red Roof has made to St Jude over the years, the company was selected to receive the 2023 St Jude Emerging Partner of the Year Award.
"Since 2021, the support of Red Roof has helped St. Jude Children's Research Hospital continue to accelerate research and treatment for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases," said Lyles Eddins, senior vice-president of relational advancement for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organisation for St Jude.
Red Roof chief marketing officer Marina Macdonald added: “Last year, we set a goal to raise $40,000, and we far exceeded that goal, raising a total of $100,000. This year, we aim to exceed that amount, and help St Jude continue to provide children treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families."
Previous Room in Your Heart philanthropic campaigns have supported organisations including the United Way Worldwide, the American Cancer Society and Canine Companions.
