The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc., the world's premier fondue restaurant franchise, is partnering with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® for the 10th annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign from Oct. 19 - Dec. 15, that asks guests to "give to help the children of St. Jude live" by raising funds for cancer research.
"The Melting Pot is proud to participate in the 2013 St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign as we continue to support St. Jude in its mission to find cures for pediatric cancer and other deadly diseases," said Mike Lester, president of The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc. "With 100 percent of donations made at The Melting Pot going directly to St. Jude, our team members and guests have an opportunity to truly contribute to saving children's lives."
For every $10 donation made to St. Jude at The Melting Pot during the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign, guests will receive a Fondue for the Kids card that offers $20 off a future purchase of $50 or more. Donations can also be made online at http://www.meltingpot.com/fondueforthekids.
Funds raised will help St. Jude find cures and save the lives of countless kids battling cancer and other deadly diseases. It costs $1.9 million to operate St. Jude Children's Research Hospital each day and no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. More than 75 percent of the hospital's funding comes from public donations.
The Melting Pot kicked off its St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign fundraising this year with a special Fondue for the Kids card bonus offer available only to members of The Melting Pot's Club Fondue email marketing program who made early donations to St. Jude from Oct. 1 - 15. Through this St. Jude Thanks and Giving preview offer, The Melting Pot raised more than $49,000 for the hospital.
