MELTING POT LAUNCHES 22ND ANNUAL ST. JUDE THANKS AND GIVING® CAMPAIGN BENEFITING ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL

Fondue Restaurant Continues Partnership With Goal of Raising Over $1.5 Million Through Donate & Dine Cards

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Melting Pot, the world's premier fondue restaurant, has launched its 22^nd annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign in partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. 

Through Jan. 4, 2026, guests nationwide can support St. Jude's lifesaving mission by purchasing a Donate & Dine card in restaurants or online for $20. In return, guests will receive $40 off a 2026 dining visit at any Melting Pot location.* 

"For 22 years, our partnership with St. Jude has been one of our most meaningful traditions," said Bob Johnston, chairman of Melting Pot's board of directors. "Our guests understand that when they buy a Donate & Dine card during the holiday season, they're not just creating memorable moments with their loved ones but also helping families at St. Jude focus on what matters most — their child's recovery."

Since launching this partnership in 2003, Melting Pot restaurants have raised more than $18 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This year, the fondue restaurant aims to raise over $1.5 million during the holiday campaign to further the St. Jude mission to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign represents just one aspect of Melting Pot's year-round commitment to St. Jude. Each September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the restaurant participates in annual St. Jude Walk events nationwide. Melting Pot also sends top St. Jude Thanks and Giving fundraising restaurant team members to tour the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee, deepening their connection to the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.^®

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital^®
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Its purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.^® It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80% in the U.S., and it won't stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes to help doctors and researchers at local hospitals and cancer centers around the world improve the quality of treatment and care for even more children. Because of generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live. Visit St. Jude Inspire to discover powerful St. Jude stories of hope, strength, love and kindness.
