This holiday season, Michael Strahan, Drew Barrymore, Luis Fonsi, Lainey Wilson, Jon Hamm and Sofia Vergara are donating their time by sharing our lifesaving mission through our St. Jude Thanks and Giving® commercials, encouraging people to join our St. Jude family this holiday season.
See why they support St. Jude, and remember that it's because of donors like you that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

Nothing prepares you for hearing the words 'your child has cancer.' The breakthroughs and care by St. Jude help families find the hope and healing they need to live a full and impactful life. From my family to yours, let’s come together this holiday season and support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude to treat and defeat childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases to help kids everywhere.
- Michael Strahan, TV personality, journalist and former professional American football player
I’m truly honored to unite with St. Jude this holiday season because its mission is incredibly meaningful to me. As a mother, I truly understand the impact a child’s health has on a family and there is nothing like the power of community coming together to support families through hard times. Join me and let’s bring joy, hope and healing to the brave children and families of St. Jude.
- Drew Barrymore, actress and film producer
The children of St. Jude continue to inspire me. Being part of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign each holiday season is a tremendous honor and one that is near and dear to my heart. The research and treatment being done at St. Jude is helping children around the world.
- Luis Fonsi, singer and songwriter
Music moves my soul and so do the kids at St. Jude. I am honored to have spent time with them and their families and seen firsthand what supporting St. Jude truly means. From learning about the impact of music therapy at St. Jude to seeing artwork by kids throughout the research hospital, I continue to be inspired by St. Jude families. I’m proud to join my country music family to bring much needed awareness to the lifesaving mission of St. Jude, one that is sustained by generosity every day from people of all walks of life.
- Lainey Wilson, singer and songwriter
Teaming up with St. Jude for over 20 years to shine a light on its work to improve survival rates for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases means the world to me. Being part of this historic St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign gives us all a chance to make a real difference in the world and in the lives of St. Jude patients and their families.
- Jon Hamm, actor
It’s a great privilege to lend my voice to help spread awareness of the lifesaving work being done at St. Jude. Please join me this holiday season and together, we can make a difference and give hope to families across the county and around the world.
