Glendale, AZ Hosts St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway
The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is set to return to Glendale, Arizona, with the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2026. Previously held in May, the inaugural event in the Phoenix area successfully raised $1 million for vital research and treatments for children battling severe illnesses.
The upcoming drawing will take place in the Icon at Thunderbird neighborhood, conveniently located southeast of Arrowhead Towne Center. This new home will be constructed and donated by Woodside Homes, the same builder responsible for the Queen Creek home giveaway earlier this year. The Queen Creek event received overwhelming support, selling all 10,000 tickets in just 28 hours.
Ticket sales for the Glendale giveaway will launch on February 25, 2026. Priced at $100 each, proceeds from ticket sales will contribute directly to helping children facing life-threatening diseases. The grand prize drawing will occur live on Good Morning Arizona on May 6, 2026. Attendees can look forward to an entertaining lineup of prize giveaways during the live drawing event.
In the prior giveaway, the Dream Home in Queen Creek was valued at approximately $510,000 and was situated in Ironwood Villages at North Creek. The home was made available for public tours during open house events held from April 3 through May 4. This initiative, supported by several prominent sponsors including KMLE 107.9, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, and national partners like Brizo, Shaw Industries, Trane, Bosch, and Kichler, aims to raise funds for essential research, treatments, and care for children diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening ailments.
With a mission firmly rooted in compassion, St. Jude guarantees that families will never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, food, or travel to ensure they can focus solely on the recovery process. Remarkably, since its opening in 1962, St. Jude has significantly improved childhood cancer survival rates from 20% to over 80% through the development and implementation of innovative treatment protocols.
Over 40 cities nationwide participate in the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, signaling a widespread commitment to supporting the hospital’s mission of finding a cure for childhood diseases. The upcoming Glendale event marks another opportunity for the community to come together and assist in funding important lifesaving research while potentially winning a beautiful new home.
In summary, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Glendale aims to replicate the previous event’s success and reach new heights by continuing to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The collaboration between Arizona’s Family and St. Jude exemplifies an enduring philanthropy effort to aid families during their most challenging moments, fostering hope and healing through community involvement and support.
