访谈录 2010-12-19&12-21 关爱我们的孩子（在线收听）

-I know that this is a quote your father used to say. And I hope that I got right. There are people that are givers.

-There are two kinds of people in the world, the givers and the takers.

-The givers and the takers.

-The takers sometimes sleep better, but the givers always sleep better.

-Right. So this again, this year, and again, you know what, I, St. Jude Hospital is such a special place that, you know, I just want people to always give through all the year, because, because you know, kids just keep going there from all over the country, right?

-Well I think, yes, the children come from every community in the country. And what I think is great about this time of year, we are all out there, shopping and buying presents for Christmas, and henequen, all those wonderful holidays, and we are in a very happy mood, but we have to remember that, there are families right now who are fighting for their child's life. And I think a great way to remember them and to honor that is to, and also to give thanks to the healthy kids in your life, that's a whole sort of motto of the campaign, the thanks & giving campaign. We are so lucky to have healthy families, we are so lucky. Our parents, our children, our spouses, ourselves. So give thanks to the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not. And it's so simple. Because we have always great retail partners. We have CVS, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target and Key Mart, Kay Jewelers and Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, all these great companies.

-So you get all these cooperate as friends,

-Yes.

-And basically if I go shopping to any of the stores,

-And retailers, they are gonna ask you to leave a dollar for the children of St. Jude, that's it. So you spent 80 dollars, 100 dollars whatever you spent, maybe 8 dollars. In CVS pharmacy the average transaction is 7 dollars, and yet last year 7 million people put down a dollar at CVS pharmacy.

This not amazing? And the average transaction was only 7 dollars.

-And Marlo, and that does go directly according to your response just right to check and send that right to the hospital.

-What happens is they actually have an SKEQ key right on the cash register, so they don’t have to pay tax audit or anything. The money comes right in, the money goes directly to St Jude .So what I love about St. Jude and why I'm pride, to be able to ask money for it, I know where the money is going. It's not going to three other companies, or three other organizations. It’s going right from CVS, Williams-Sonoma, or whoever, and going right to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
