Dream Home Campaign helps St. Jude research studies
TOPEKA (KSNT) - There are three days until the launch of this year's Topeka St. Jude Dream Home Campaign.
The campaign helps fund studies for many child illnesses like sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease prevents the normal flow of blood in the body, and affects one out of every 365 African American babies born in the U.S.
This disease was the first disease that St. Jude received a research grant to study, and now the hospital's sickle cell program is one of the largest in the country.
With the purchase of a $100 ticket, you can be the owner of a new home in Topeka. Remember, the sooner you reserve a ticket, the more you could win.
The dream home can be found in southwest Topeka, at 2635 SW Sherwood Park Drive in Topeka. It is being built by Drippé Homes and has an estimated value of $600,000.
Features of the dream home include three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an estimated 2,200 square feet. Free tours of the home run from July 12-28 at the following times:
- Fridays: 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Sundays: Noon to 4 p.m.
Tickets for the 2024 St. Jude Dream Home will be available on our website in the coming days.
