St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital patient art illustrates philanthropic commitment of PGA TOUR, FedEx during FedEx St. Jude Championship

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship will once again come alive with color, creativity and purpose August 6-10, as art created by patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is showcased on a global stage, a global platform to raise awareness and benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®

The world’s top 70 PGA TOUR pros, along with fans and a global audience, will see St. Jude patient art on course throughout the week on caddie bibs during tournament play, custom-designed shoes worn by some PGA TOUR pros and on TaylorMade® headcovers and PING golf bags.

Art therapy is an important part of the patient journey at St. Jude as a way to reduce stress, explore complex feelings, manage the effects of treatment and improve quality of life. Bright, heartwarming art created by patients is on display throughout hallways and common areas on the St. Jude campus.

“Art, like hope, has a way of traveling far and wide and that is why our partners at PGA TOUR and FedEx understand the importance of sharing patient artwork as part of the overall FedEx St. Jude Championship experience,” said Samantha Maltin, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer at ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Decades of support from these incredible organizations help tell the story of St. Jude around the world as doctors and researchers work to advance quality of care and increase survival rates for children everywhere.”

Attendees will see patient art on signage, at fan experiences and on display throughout the course. Patient-designed merchandise will also be available in the PGA TOUR Pro Shop and online via the St. Jude Gift Shop. In addition, a PGA TOUR Wives Association Patient Art Party, another championship tradition, will bring St. Jude patients and PGA TOUR families together for a hands-on creative session during tournament week. Fans can get in on the action by bidding on exclusive autographed items now through Aug. 14 by visiting BirdiesforStJude.org.

Since 1970, the PGA TOUR event in Memphis has raised more than $80 million for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, helping to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so families can focus on helping their child live.

The 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship is the first of three events in the 2025 FedExCup Playoffs.

Fans can show their support from afar by becoming a St. Jude Partner in Hope. With a $55 monthly contribution, supporters will receive the limited-edition “The Drive is In You” golf shirt. Learn more at StJude.org/TheDrive.
