Childrens Lighthouse Franchise Company Partners with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Fort Worth-Based Early Learning School Franchise Participates in the St. Jude Walk/Run to Raise Money for Childhood Cancer Research
FORT WORTH, Texas – Childrens Lighthouse Early Learning Schools℠, widely recognized as the leading values-based, early-education provider in the United States, celebrated its national partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by participating in the St. Jude Walk/Run on September 21st in Fort Worth during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
A team from the Childrens Lighthouse home office attended the St. Jude Walk/Run in Fort Worth at the Panther Island Pavilion. As a silver sponsor, Childrens Lighthouse Franchise Company donated $2,500 for the walk and raised an additional $1,945 for St. Jude, adding to the more that $13 million raised this year via walks across the country. Childrens Lighthouse Franchise Company was also stationed in the Family Zone and provided face painting, crafts, a prize wheel and games for all participants.
“Our schools are created in an effort to instill values in children and to enrich communities. That starts by giving back to wonderful organizations like St. Jude,” said Michael Brown, president of Childrens Lighthouse Early Learning Schools℠. “By taking the time to prioritize philanthropy, we are teaching our students the importance of helping others.”
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child.
The mission of Childrens Lighthouse is to connect families together with independent franchise owners in an effort to enrich communities through a relationship based on safety and trust. Childrens Lighthouse does this by partnering with parents to develop children with character values and physical wellness in a S.T.R.E.A.M.℠ enriched learning environment. Additionally, franchisees across the network are actively involved with their local communities and regularly give back through volunteering, donations and more.
