Looking for a nonprofit partner that makes a dramatic difference in the lives of children and their families? St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in Memphis, is a cause that virtually every customer can agree on. And a recent Domino’s campaign proves it.
Domino’s Pizza customers gave St. Jude a sizeable financial boost in 2024, thanks to an 11-week fundraiser that ended on January 5, 2025.
As St. Jude’s mission statement notes, the hospital works to “advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder, Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.”
According to a press release, Domino’s Thanks and Giving Campaign raised more than $8.9 million to support St. Jude’s work in advancing research of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. That campaign raised the total of money donated by Domino’s customers in 2024 to more than $18 million.
Prior to that campaign, Domino’s prompted customers to round up their order total and donate the extra money to St. Jude. That effort raised $8.7 million, and the brand’s franchise and corporate team raised an additional $337,000 in the annual St. Jude Walk/Run event.
“The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is a beloved tradition at Domino’s,” said Domino’s CEO Russell Weiner. “Each year, we are reminded of the profound difference that Domino’s team members, franchisees and customers can make in the lives of children in need of care around the world. I am continuously in awe of St. Jude’s devotion to patients and their families—Domino’s is honored to contribute to creating brighter futures for them.”
The $18 million brings Domino’s total amount raised for St. Jude to more than $143 million since the partnership began. In May 2024, Domino’s pledged to reach a fundraising total of $300 million by 2034 to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude.
The support of Domino’s customers has provided more than two decades of donations to 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.
