Exclusive Patient Art Golf Polo Now Available, Donations Benefit Lifesaving Mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

New shirt designs released annually with “The Drive Is In You” monthly gifts

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golf fans and donors everywhere have a new way to show their support on the fairway for the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. For the first time, generous donors who make a monthly commitment to St. Jude through the “The Drive Is In You” initiative will receive a newly designed, limited edition golf polo shirt featuring art created by St. Jude patients.

Supporters receive the shirt upon making a $55 monthly “The Drive Is In You” gift with new designs released annually. The initiative celebrates the creativity of St. Jude patients and the generosity of donors who choose to make a regular commitment to St. Jude, so that every child gets a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment.

“We are grateful for more than five decades of support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital from the golf community, which has raised millions for critical research and care for children with cancer and catastrophic diseases,” said Samantha Maltin, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Our limited-edition golf polo is more than just apparel; it’s a symbol of hope, love and the power of individuals and communities to help St. Jude find cures and save the lives of children around the world.”

Bright, heartwarming art by patients is on display throughout hallways and common areas of the St. Jude campus and is a significant part of the on-site experience at the annual FedEx St. Jude Championship, held this year from Aug. 6-10 in Memphis.

Golf clubs and retailers across the country have the opportunity to display the “The Drive Is In You” polo to help spark conversations, encourage support, and promote the donation opportunity to members and guests.
