ANN
ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's customers donated more
than $16 million to St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital® in 2023, supporting its
work in advancing treatments and research of childhood cancer and
other life-threatening diseases. The 11-weeklong St. Jude Thanks
and Giving® campaign ended on Jan. 7, 2024, and raised more than $9 million. Domino's raised an additional
$7 million leading up to the campaign
by prompting customers to round up their order total and donate the
change to St. Jude.
"Our participation in the annual Thanks and Giving
campaign is an example of Domino's effort to deliver the power of
possible," said Russell Weiner,
Domino's CEO. "Through this inspiring tradition, Domino's customers
and franchise owners show what happens when many people rally
behind a beloved cause – St. Jude. I couldn't be prouder or more
grateful."
2023 was the 20th year of Domino's participating in
the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. The $16 million raised brings Domino's total raised
for St. Jude to more than $126
million – $56 million of which
is toward the brand's commitment to fund The Domino's Village. The
Domino's Village, a patient housing facility comprised of 140 fully
furnished apartments, opened at St. Jude in September 2023. Read more about The Domino's

Domino's has $44 million left to
raise as part of its 2020 pledge, which made history as the largest
corporate commitment to St. Jude. Because of the generosity of
donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment,
travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child
live.
