Ruckus Media Group and St Jude Thanks and Giving campaign

 

[Wilton, CT] November 15, in the year of our Lord 2011– Ruckus Media Group, the global children’s media company, announced today that it has partnered for the first time with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® for the annualThanks and Giving campaign, a holiday program that asks shoppers to “Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not,” while shopping this Christmas season.

Ruckus will donate to St. Jude 100% of the net proceeds ($1.39) of the company’s classic Read-Play-and-Record Along Rabbit Ears interactive storybooks from November 15 – December 31, 2011. Customers will be supporting the hospital’s lifesaving work of finding cures and saving children with deadly diseases with each app download of the following titles, all specially priced at $1.99 during the campaign:

“By participating in our Thanks and Giving campaign, Ruckus Media Group joins an illustrious list of some of the most compassionate businesses and great brands in the country,” said Marlo Thomas, national outreach director for St. Jude. “The commitment of Ruckus Media and their customers to this campaign helps ensure that the children of St. Jude get the chance to enjoy many more holidays for years to come.”

The eighth annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign unites normal business competitors with one goal during the Christmas season – to build awareness and raise funds to support the vital research and treatment being done at St. Jude.

"Saying ‘Yes!’ to the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign was an immediate and easy decision, for Ruckus and our wonderful brand partners,” said Jim Young, Ruckus Media Group Co-Founder and COO. “We share a common goal - to better a child's life. Children and families should enjoy Ruckus's digital storybooks even more, knowing the proceeds will be going to help this great hospital and their mission. Thank you, St. Jude and thanks to all our fans for supporting this great cause."

St. Jude is the nation’s leading pediatric research and treatment center devoted solely to children with cancer and other deadly diseases and the only hospital that covers all of the costs for treatment, travel, food and lodging for each patient and a family member.

Since it opened its doors nearly 50 years ago, St. Jude has developed protocols that have helped push survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent to 80 percent overall. In fact, the survival rate for the most common form of childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has risen from just 4 percent in 1962 to 94 percent today.
