AI GeneratedThis video provides a sneak peek at the St. Jude Dream Home and highlights a partnership with Minky Couture. Viewers are encouraged to purchase tickets to support St. Jude's mission of providing life-saving treatment to children without financial burden to their families, with the grand prize drawing taking place on November 11th.
Well, the countdown is on.
The St. Jude Dream Home is almost ready,
and the big drawing is just weeks away.
So we're taking you to the home now for a sneak peek
and a reminder of how you can help support life-saving work.
We have Melissa Wilson sitting comfy on the couch there.
We're ready to get a tour.
You're going to get one for sure,
while at the same time I show you something else you could win.
All of these little Minky Coutures talk about soft like velvet.
Oh, my goodness.
I have the ladies here to tell us all about it.
How are you doing?
Talk to us about this.
We have Rochelle and Allie here.
These are so soft.
Tell us, first of all, Minky Couture and how you got involved
to help out St. Jude to help give this home to somebody.
I know.
We've been very excited to come here.
I mean, we've been working with St. Jude for how long now?
Gosh, a little over a year.
A little over a year now.
Yes.
We first met, I work out of Denver,
but we're based out of Utah in a luxury blanket company.
But I went to the St. Jude Summit and toured the facilities and really
just fell in love with their mission and everything they do there.
Well, while we talk, my photographer, Ray, is going to go around and
give you an idea of what some of these beautiful blankets look like.
And this is part of what St. Jude has come up
with is these great partners with companies where you can
also get the chance to win so many things.
And Minky Couture is part of a huge package,
so not just one, but a whole bundle of them.
A bundle of them.
So we have a blanket bundle, which is so fun.
And our blankets, I mean, we have several different sizes
and colors, textures, thickness.
So our owner and founder, Sandy Hendry,
she wanted to have something for everyone.
So even when you come into our stores or you're shopping online,
it is kind of like an ice cream shop.
There is a little taste for everyone.
Does anyone have to do anything special in order to be able to do this?
Or they buy their $100 ticket and then voila,
they also get a chance to win the Minkies.
A $100 ticket wins you a Minky bundle as well as a $10,000 prize.
If we are able to pull your name, the $10,000 prize goes with it?
Yes.
It's an amazing prize, and we're happy to do that to support St. Jude.
Yeah, that is incredible.
I mean, it's just unreal.
We were in the pink room earlier,
and just to see that rose soft pink color was so amazing.
Like you said, they come in every single color.
No, every color, every style.
I mean, tons of different thickness.
This is our original hugs blanket.
So this came out a couple of years ago.
It has a bit of stretch to it, so it can kind of hug you back.
I see your pen there and you said that you got to tour the facility.
How incredible is it to be
a part of something where everybody's $100 goes
to make sure these kids don't get a bill so that
their families aren't stressed about money?
It really was so special. I mean, I feel very
blessed that we were able to go down and see the facility in person.
I mean, Sandy, our owner and
founder, Minky, it never was a business venture for her.
I mean, it came out of love. And with
every blanket purchase, we actually donate a mini blanket to a NICU.
And so for us to be able to
work with St. Jude and to go see that in person
and now be here at Dream Homes, it's been amazing.
When I went there, I just changed everything for me
to want to be just such a willing partner to
all of these ladies. Thank you for traveling here,
for being with us. Thank you so much. We're so
excited and we can't wait to see who the winner is.
I know, I can't believe it. Two weeks,
everybody, November 11th, right here on Fox 26.
I want to draw your name, but there's only one way
I can do that. There's only one way we can tell you
that you have almost a half a million dollar
home. That's to buy that ticket, QR code or dreamhome.org.
In Richmond, Melissa Wilson, Fox 26 News.
