Signet Jewelers has raised $12 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, marking its largest single-year fundraising total and biggest one-time donation to the organisation. The announcement was made on 16 April 2026 in Akron, Ohio.
The contribution forms part of Signet Jewelers’ $100 million commitment announced in 2023. Funds were generated through in-store and online customer donations, sales of plush merchandise, and employee-led initiatives including the St. Jude Walk.
J.K. Symancyk, CEO, Signet Jewelers, said the effort reflects the company’s purpose in action, driven by collective support from employees, customers and partners.
Signet’s association with St. Jude spans 27 years, with cumulative contributions exceeding $122 million. The current pledge will support survivorship programmes such as the After Completion of Therapy Clinic and the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study (St. Jude LIFE), focused on long-term care and research for childhood cancer survivors.
Ike Anand, President and CEO of ALSAC, said the contribution helps ensure families do not receive bills for treatment, travel, housing or food, while advancing research and care for life-threatening paediatric diseases.
