SUFFOLK, Va. – Celebrating a significant milestone in the fight against childhood cancer, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, in collaboration with WTKR News 3, is set to award its 25th St. Jude Dream Home in Hampton Roads. This annual event, which has garnered tremendous community support, raises crucial funds for cancer research and treatment at St. Jude.
Fundraising and Community Impact
Each year, St. Jude sells thousands of $100 raffle tickets leading up to the giveaway event. The proceeds from these ticket sales contribute directly to supporting the hospital’s mission of providing free treatment to children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families at St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food, ensuring they can focus solely on their child’s recovery.
Luxury Living for a Cause
This year’s Dream Home, located in Suffolk’s Bennett’s Pasture neighborhood, offers 3,100 square feet of luxurious living space. Valued at over $715,000, the home features five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, providing a comfortable and spacious environment for its future owners.
How to Participate
To participate in this year’s giveaway and support the cause, individuals can purchase raffle tickets online before Thursday’s drawing. The winner will be announced during WTKR News 3’s broadcast at 7 p.m., adding an element of excitement and community engagement to the event.
Supporting the Cause
The partnership between St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and WTKR News 3 underscores the power of community-driven initiatives in making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families facing serious health challenges. By participating in the Dream Home giveaway, residents of Hampton Roads not only stand a chance to win a stunning new home but also contribute directly to advancing medical research and care.
