St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization. In 2010, St. Jude was ranked the most trusted charity in the nation in a public survey conducted by Harris Interactive, a highly respected international polling and research firm.

I’m sure many of you have heard about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and maybe you even know someone who has been helped there. Since no child is denied because of their parents’ financial ability to pay, donations come in handy. Medical care is expensive!
Procter & Gamble and Target stores have teamed up to help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Target will be carrying special “red” products from May 10 through June 13. Part of every purchase of these special “red” products will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Besides the donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, P&G will also donate P&G products for families and patients to use throughout their stay at Target House and other St. Jude residential facilities in Memphis.
The great thing is that you don’t really have to donate money to help out. You can just buy the things that you use in your every day life. Just buy them at Target in the specially marked packages and you will be making a difference automatically!

I received a “red” Swiffer Sweeper and a few samples of must haves for the laundry. I have to say, I never realized how much I missed my old Swiffer until I got this one. We have hardwood floors throughout the house, so naturally there’s dog hair in corners and other places we can’t easily reach. That’s where this baby comes in handy, especially under the beds.
