Tickets for the 2023 Colorado Springs St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway are on sale now! Each ticket costs $100, with 11,500 available, to raise $1.15 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a facility that is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Since opening more than 60 years ago, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to 80% ... and the work continues to drive that number to 90% as the next milestone.
One hundred percent of ticket sale proceeds will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help ensure the continuation of research and treatment and enable families with a sick child to fully concentrate on their son or daughter without concern for medical, travel, housing or food expenses.
The earlier you buy your ticket(s)– you can reserve up to 50 tickets at a time online or by telephone – the more prizes you have a chance to win! Make your purchase by April 19 and you could win a HotSpot Pace five-person hot tub with cover, coverlifter and step, courtesy of Hanson HotSpring Spas. Tickets reserved by May 10 are eligible to win American Airlines miles valued at $5,000.
“We have been part of this community for over 40 years, and our company promotes health and wellness each day, so we feel it is a natural partnership to be part of an organization dedicated to health," said Andy Rusk, owner of Early Bird Prize Sponsor Hanson HotSpring Spas. "St. Jude helps children not just here, but all over the world, and we want to be part of the goal of ending childhood cancers. We are proud to have been part of this amazing organization’s dream for 10 years, and we hope that we will not have to be a part for another 10 years, because that would mean that St. Jude has completed their mission and eradicated these horrible diseases, and no child will die of cancer."
