Caring Causes - #ThisShirtSavesLives and St. Jude

 For the eighth year in a row, celebrities from many fields including artists, actors, media personalities, influencers and more joined together for the annual #ThisShirtSavesLives program, encouraging the public to become monthly donors to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. Sporting the official gray t-shirt, this year's movement is receiving support from Carrie Underwood, Fey, H.E.R., Carson Daly, Old Dominion, Lainey Wilson, A Great Big World, Oscar Ivan Trevino, Megan Moroney, Cody Johnson, Dierks Bentley, Jacqie Rivera, Bailey Zimmerman, Dasha, Ruben Blades, Banda Los Recoditos, Sam Hunt, Scotty McCreery, Ricardo Munoz, Justin Moore, Sara Evans, Banda El Recodo, Lee Brice, Jordan Davis, Grupo Duelo, Intocable, Parker McCollum, Dustin Lynch and more.

 

More than 200 stations around the nation are hosting events throughout December to support the campaign, asking listeners to become a Partner in Hope, where a monthly donation of $19 to St. Jude earns them a #ThisShirtSavesLives tee. The Bobby Bones Show, Steve Harvey, iHeartMedia, Audacy, TelevisaUnivision/UFORIA, along with other ownership groups, are all taking part. 

 

Bigger and better with each passing year, the digital fundraising program has grown to involve thousands of supporters taking to their social channels to share images and messages with #ThisShirtSavesLives in effort to raise awareness and funds for research and treatment at St. Jude. The movement became a social media sensation upon its 2017 launch, with nearly one million shirts distributed to date. 

 

This annual series of nationwide events is part of the Music Gives to St. Jude Kids program that connects music lovers to the mission of St. Jude. Funds raised by programs like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on helping their child live.
