Happy birthday and a big thank you to @chipgaines for asking, “What good can I do today?” and delivering with an incredible gift to the kids of @stjude.

Chip & @joannagaines have always put purpose first and we're so very grateful.

Halfway to one hundred and no looking back ⚡

As I get older, more and more my heart leans toward what’s really important in life and asking myself the question, “what good can I do today?”

Well.. today happens to be my 50th birthday and I’ve only got one wish, and it’s for the incredible patients and families over at @stjude. I decided yesterday that for my 50th I’d like to do some good with a $50,000 donation and today I’m wondering how much more meaningful that number could get if we all jumped in and gave what we could.

They tell me we’ve got until Sunday to get after it. What do you say? Let’s do some good today.

Donate today at https://t.co/a8djB75KaX.

Samantha and Ankur are two incredible professionals who chose to bring world-class experience to Memphis for the cause of @StJude. I’m so grateful they’re here and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have on sick kids across the world. https://t.co/Ki4H8MjJh7

Thank you to our country music family for an amazing week of community & purpose — truly meaningful for everyone at ALSAC. For 35 years, this community has put @StJude first and continues to put songs in the hearts of our kids and families.

Congrats to @OldDominion, winners of the 2024 Angels Among Us Award for their years of exceptional and lasting contributions to @StJude. Thank you from everyone at St. Jude for putting a smile on our kids’ faces and a song in their hearts.

Will we see you at @FedExForum tonight?

It's the inaugural Hoops for St. Jude Tip-Off Classic, and it's already a success because of the energy and passion I saw from the players at dinner last night. Let's make this an annual event, Memphians!

Sixty-seven years ago this week, 100 supporters gathered to sign ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for @StJude, into existence. We've come so far since 1957, and I’m excited for the possibilities of the next 67 years. Thank you to all who support St. Jude!

[Richard Shadyac @RickShadyac]

One year of home. One year of hope. Just the beginning for generations to come.

So grateful for the leadership, franchisees and customers of @dominos who made possible The Domino’s Village patient housing facility, which opened a little over a year ago on the @StJude campus.

[St. Jude @StJude]

The Domino's Village celebrates its one-year anniversary since opening, providing a home away from home for St. Jude patients and families from 48 states and territories and 26 countries. Thank you, @dominos. 🥳

[Richard Shadyac @RickShadyac]

Proud of @rookisaacman, @annawmenon, @Gillis_SarahE, and @KiddPoteet for the amazing and successful #PolarisDawn mission. So grateful it was with purpose — supporting the kids of @StJude.

We mourn the passing of Phil Donahue, a beloved member of our @StJude family. He was a kind, compassionate and generous soul who cared deeply for others and supported our mission with passion. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marlo and the entire Donahue and Thomas families.

[Richard Shadyac @RickShadyac]

So grateful to Annie and Jordan Spieth for their incredible generosity in support of the @StJude mission. Best of luck to Jordan at the @FedExChamp!

The @FedExChamp has started — some of the world’s top athletes playing in support of some of the top scientists in the world finding cures for kids. Grateful to all for making this a success — and for the fans at @TPCSouthwind who are living charitably with their support.

[Richard Shadyac @RickShadyac]

In a week filled with special events, this is one of my very favorite – the 12th year our great friends at @FedEx have honored a @StJude patient with their name on an airplane. Congrats Micah!

Our friends at @TriDelta have done it again. Last night they announced a new $100 million commitment to @StJude, for which we are so, so grateful. Tri Delta is a top five fundraiser for St. Jude and the highest fundraising Greek partner for *any* philanthropic partner.

Wow. All I can say. What an honor tonight celebrating the milestone of $100 million raised for the kids of @StJude from our longtime and great friends at @TriDelta.

Great news today for the future of Memphis, the city our mission is so blessed to call home.
