“Year after year, HSN and Cornerstone brands supporters have celebrated the true meaning of the holidays by giving to others through our St. Jude ‘Thanks and Giving’ campaign,” said Richard C. Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “We are grateful for their generosity, which helps ensure St. Jude has the support needed to continue delivering on its six-year, $11.5 billion strategic plan to triple its global investment to help more of the 400,000 kids around the world with cancer each year.”
