American Internet Tech donates to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (October 2023)
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® and Domino’s®, the largest pizza company in the world, today unveiled The Domino’s Village, a multi-million dollar housing facility for patients and their families. The six-story building that provides more than 307,000 square feet of residential and recreational space was funded by Domino’s as part of a 10-year, historic $100 million commitment to St. Jude. The Domino’s Village has 140 furnished units, including one-bedroom suites and two- and three-bedroom apartments and is connected to the St. Jude campus by a pedestrian bridge. St. Jude provides housing free of charge to any patient who needs treatment requiring an overnight stay and whose family must travel 35 miles or more to campus. Over the last 61 years, St. Jude has treated patients from all 50 states and around the world, making housing for patients and their families a critical need. The Domino’s Village is one of four housing facilities available to St. Jude patients and the first to accommodate short- and long-term stays. The Domino’s Village will open to St. Jude families in October.
More than 3,500 participants gathered at Tom Lee Park for the 9th annual St. Jude Walk/Run Memphis, held on the final day of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The runners and walkers represented local and global communities coming together to support research and treatment by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® to improve survival rates for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases around the world. Among those communities were 10 teams of students, staff and school leaders from across the Memphis-Shelby County Schools District, the largest public school district in Tennessee. This year marked a reinvigorated collaboration between schools and this event which included a pep rally held the week prior at A. Maceo Walker Middle School, where several students shared their personal experiences with St. Jude to their peers.
