Luis Fonsi, Sofia Vergara Partake in St. Jude Holiday Campaign
Latin GRAMMY award winner, Luis Fonsi and Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actress, Sofia Vergara join the star-studded community of prominent personalities lending their time and talents in support of the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign.
The campaign, now in its ninth year, asks consumers to give thanks for the healthy kids in their lives, and give to those who are not.
Starting Thanksgiving week, celebrities, joined by Marlo Thomas, National Outreach Director for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, will be featured in national television spots and in movie theatre trailers alongside St. Jude patients. Returning to the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign this year are long-time celebrity friends, Jennifer Aniston, Robin Williams, Shaun White and Luis Fonsi.
Since St. Jude opened in 1962, the entertainment community has played a pivotal role in raising awareness and funds for St. Jude.
“For the past seven years, I have had the privilege and honor to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and its precious boys and girls who come to the hospital to receive the treatment they desperately need,” said Luis Fonsi. “This noble cause allows me to lend my voice to motivate people around the world to support its lifesaving efforts and it’s with great privilege that I call St. Jude, my family.”
“There is no place like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and to be a part of this year’s St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is humbling and inspiring,” said Sofia Vergara. “As a mother and a cancer survivor, I am touched that St. Jude’s research and treatment strives to save every child battling cancer and other deadly childhood diseases across America and around the world.”
The national television spots will air on network and cable television broadcasts, as well as online, in both English and Spanish. Celebrities will also be featured in a 60-second movie trailer that will appear in theatres nationwide. All of the spots, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, will debut at stjude.org on Nov. 16.
