Gordmans

This holiday season, Gordmans is bringing the St. Jude mission into its stores with Bears that Care.

Cuddly bears named after Bella, a little girl at St. Jude, are available at Gordmans as gifts of hope. Bella has childhood cancer and is getting care from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Starting Nov. 1 though New Year’s Eve, shoppers can help St. Jude families by purchasing the bears for under $10. Gordmans will donate $2 of each bear sale to St. Jude.

Gordmans also will donate $1 on behalf of the first 35,000 guests who use the hashtags #bearsthatcare on Gordmans’ Facebook and Instagram pages. Additionally, guests have the opportunity to make a donation at checkout in Sulphur Springs’ Gordmans store or online at gordmans.com/stjude, and 100% of the donations will go to St. Jude.

“I give thanks this holiday season for the loyal support of Stage Stores as we kick off the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign,” said Marlo Thomas, national outreach director for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “The caring and. Unwavering commitment of Stage Store, their dedicated employees and generous customers to the children of St. Jude is instrumental in helping raise the necessary funds to ensure that families never pay St. Jude for anything — not for treatment, travel, housing or food — because we believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live.”

With the help and generosity of their guest, the Stage community of stores raised almost $900,000 for St. Judein 2018 and over $6 million in the past six years.

“Please join us in making the holidays brighter for St. Jude families so that kids like Bella get the good care they need,” said Michael Glazer, president and CEO of State. “We are committed to helping St. Jude reach as many children as possible to treat and defeat childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.”
