History of National Use Your Gift Card Day
National Use Your Gift Card Day was created in 2020 to encourage people to use their gift cards. Why?

Since its creation, this day has quickly gained popularity.

Donate your gift cards to charity
If you have gift cards you don’t want or need, consider donating them to St. Jude. You can give as an individual or pool your cards with friends or family for a larger donation. St. Jude accepts both partially-used and fully-unused cards.
Donating your gift card can be a source of satisfaction since you know your gift will be going toward a good cause. Read our patient stories to learn about some of the kids St. Jude has helped.
Treat yourself or someone you love
Be kind to yourself or someone you care about. A gift card can be an excuse to try something new or go on an adventure, depending on what the card can be used for. You may want to share the experience with a friend or family member, or perhaps use it for some much-deserved "me time."
If you have a prepaid card that can be used anywhere, consider making a purchase from the St. Jude Gift Shop. With a wide selection to choose from, you just may find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one — and every purchase benefits St. Jude kids.

Why donate gift cards to St. Jude?
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer. Together, we can save more lives.
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
This National Use Your Gift Card Day help the kids of St. Jude and further childhood cancer research.
