Hammermill Paper Partners with St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital for 10th Annual
St. Jude Thanks and Giving Campaign
Decade-long campaign has raised more than $387 million for
treatment and research of childhood cancer
I
nternational Paper announced that its
Hammermill Paper brand has once
again partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for the annual
St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign, an
unprecedented union of celebrities, media,
retail, and corporate brands that ask consumers to donate while they shop during the
holiday season and join St. Jude in fnding
cures and saving children. This is the third
year that Hammermill has participated in the
campaign.
St. Jude is leading the way the world
understands, treats, and defeats childhood
cancer and other deadly diseases. Created
by Marlo, Terre, and Tony Thomas—children
of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas—the St.
Jude Thanks and Giving campaign began
as a holiday-focused fundraising effort and
has grown into an annual tradition that has
raised more than $387 million for research
and treatment in the ongoing battle to end
childhood cancer.
Kicking off Thanksgiving week and running through the end of December, this year
marks its 10th anniversary of asking the
public to, "Give thanks for the healthy kids
in your life, and give to those who are not."
"The incredible support we receive
from Hammermill, and their loyal customers during the St. Jude Thanks and Giving
campaign is critical in our fght to end childhood cancer," said Marlo Thomas, national
outreach director for St. Jude. "St. Jude is
where doctors send some of their toughest
cases because we have the world's best
survival rates, and Hammermill's commitment helps us continue that lifesaving work
while staying true to my father's founding
promise that families never receive a bill
from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing,
or food—because all a family should have to
26
worry about is helping their child live."
Beginning November 1, customers who buy select reams
of Hammermill paper will see
original artwork on the front of
Hammermill reams, drawn by
St. Jude patients. Customers
can also read the patient's story
on the back of the reams.
"We are delighted to be
able to help St. Jude continue
their lifesaving work of fnding
cures and saving children with
cancer and other catastrophic
diseases," said John Sims,
vice president, Imaging Papers,
with International Paper. "As
a Thanks and Giving corporate
partner with St. Jude, we're able
to make a difference by supporting this wonderful cause."
Hammermill Paper is sold at national and
regional offce supply stores across the
United States and Canada. To learn more

Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital has changed
the way the world treats childhood cancer
and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child
receives and, for every child treated there,
thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries.
The hospital has played a pivotal role
in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival
rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is
the first and only National Cancer Institutedesignated Comprehensive Cancer Center
devoted to children. It is also a leader in the
research and treatment of blood disorders

and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude
was founded by the late entertainer Danny
Thomas, who believed that no child should
die in the dawn of life.
