Signet Jewelers reaches record $10M fundraising benefitting St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital<\/b><\/p>\n

AKRON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nSignet Jewelers, the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry, which includes KAY Jewelers<\/a>, Zales<\/a>, Jared<\/a> and Banter by Piercing Pagoda<\/a>, announced today it raised a record-breaking $10 million in FY2025 to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital<\/a>: Finding cures. Saving children.\u00ae <\/sup>This fundraising milestone tops the previous year\u2019s record of $8.75 million and represents Signet\u2019s largest ever single-year fundraising total.\n<\/p>\n

\nSignet has raised more than $100 million for St. Jude since becoming an official partner more than 26 years ago. In October 2023, the company celebrated by announcing a new $100 million commitment. Signet\u2019s more than 24,000 North American team members support fundraising and awareness efforts to ensure no family receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food \u2014 so they can focus on helping their child live.\n<\/p>\n

\nDonations come from the annual sale of plush toy puppies and bears at Kay and Jared stores, customer donations, employee giving campaigns, percentages of proceeds from select product lines, and in-kind product donations to charitable events. Employees also participate in annual St. Jude Walk\/Run<\/a> events across the country as a national team and the St. Jude Memphis Marathon\u00ae Weekend<\/a>. Signet is also a proud partner<\/a> during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month<\/a> in September and during the St. Jude Thanks and Giving<\/i><\/a>\u00ae<\/sup><\/i> holiday campaign. During FY25, customer donations to St. Jude grew an average 23% across Signet\u2019s brands.\n<\/p>\n

\n“We are incredibly grateful that our team members and customers are dedicated to Signet\u2019s purpose of Inspiring Love,\u201d said J.K. Symancyk, CEO of Signet Jewelers. \u201cI\u2019m so proud to be able to say that we\u2019ve shattered another fundraising record as we continue to do everything we can to help St. Jude give its doctors and researchers the tools and technology they need to make the next groundbreaking discovery.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nSignet also joined forces with St. Jude in December on its Build Against Cancer Livestream with DrLupo viewed by 1 million people. For the first time, livestream viewers who donated to St. Jude were randomly selected to win diamond jewelry from Banter.\n<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>Our great friends at Signet are helping more children in the U.S. and around the world survive and thrive through their longstanding commitment, which enables St. Jude to advance research and means of treatment for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases,\u201d said Ike Anand, interim CEO of ALSAC<\/a>, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital. \u201cWe are grateful for the love and generous support that Signet customers and team members have continued to show the patient families of St. Jude for more than two decades.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, Signet Jewelers\u2019 brands are prominent throughout the St. Jude campus, highlighting how the company supports patients from day one through treatment, care and survivorship. Support from Signet ensures continued care through the Patient Registration Area presented by Signet Jewelers, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, the St. Jude Solid Tumor Clinic presented by Signet Jewelers, the Patient Care Center Second Floor presented by Signet Jewelers and the Kay Research and Care Center. At the center of it all is Kay Kafe, where St. Jude staff and families connect and gather for meals day and night.\n<\/p>\n
