The open houses for the St. Jude Dream Home® Giveaway in Lakeland have been postponed until further notice, according to Sydney Blair Watson, regional development representative for ALSAC.
“The overall health and wellness of our patients, families, staff, visitors, donors, volunteers and everyone within the communities we serve is fundamental to our mission at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, “ said Ms. Watson. “Children with cancer and other diseases are immune-compromised. That’s why we have worked proactively to safeguard our environment every day from the dangers of infectious diseases like COVID-19, a kind of coronavirus, since we opened our doors nearly 60 years ago.”
She added, “We appreciate your continued support of St. Jude and look forward to seeing you again soon. As a global research hospital, our hearts and prayers remain with families all across the world who are dealing firsthand with COVID-19.’
