St. Jude Sets June 28 Dream Home Giveaway for $675,000 House

Q: How much of each Dream Home ticket purchase directly funds St. Jude's life-saving research and patient care?

All of it. According to St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway organizers, every dollar from each ticket purchase goes directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Tickets are typically priced at $100, so that means the full $100 per ticket supports the hospital’s research and patient care efforts. Those funds help cover treatment, travel, housing, and food for families, while also backing St. Jude’s pediatric cancer and blood disorder research. In the Memphis 2026 giveaway, the campaign sold out and raised $2.15 million, reflecting that ticket revenue and related fundraising support went straight to St. Jude’s mission.
