Tumi Continues to Support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® Through Annual Thanks and Giving Campaign
(New York, NY) – For the second year in a row, Tumi will continue to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during the eighth annual Thanks and Giving campaign. Beginning November 17 through the end of the year, customers are encouraged to donate at Tumi stores nationwide and/or online at http://www.tumi.com
Committed to the cause, Tumi will donate 250 travel bags to St. Jude and Tumi CEO, Jerome Griffith, will visit the hospital to hand delivery the bags to St. Jude patients and their families. Proud to be uniting families during the holiday season, this moment of giving will be captured on video and shared on Tumi’s Facebook and YouTube pages. Tumi’s visit to St. Jude will coincide with the brand’s holiday campaign, “Tumi Takes You Home”. The campaign celebrates the act of traveling to reunite with loved ones during the holidays and recognizes all that we are grateful for in our lives. “The holidays are not only a time for giving but also a time for giving back. It’s important to give thanks for what we have and support those in need”, says Jerome Griffith, Tumi CEO. The “Tumi Takes You Home” campaign will be brought to life through store-front windows, in-store, online and on social media. Beginning November 17 and running through the end of the year, Tumi will engage with Facebook fans (www.facebook.com/TumiTravel) by hosting a photo-sharing contest, where the Tumi community may post photos of what they are grateful for this holiday season. Participants will be judged on creativity and presentation as to why going home for the holidays is personally meaningful. A weekly winner will be announced and awarded with a Tumi gift card, along with their photo featured on Tumi’s page.
The Thanks and Giving campaign benefits St. Jude, one of the nation’s leading pediatric research and treatment center devoted solely to treatment of children with cancer and other deadly diseases. Beginning Thanksgiving week and continuing through the end of December, consumers can support St. Jude by adding a donation during checkout or while shopping online at participating partners, like Tumi. All partners are identified by the St. Jude Thanks and Giving magnifying glass logo.
