Window World Launches 'One More Day' Campaign to Support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C., Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Window World, Inc., America's largest replacement window and home remodeling company, has announced the 2012 launch of its 'One More Day' campaign, a fundraising plan dedicated to providing St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with a full day of operating expenses.

The initiative was developed by a Window World store owner and embraced by Tammy Whitworth, chairman and CEO of Window World and co-founder of Window World Cares, to cover the additional costs that leap day will bring to St. Jude this year.

"One more day could mean the chance of a lifetime for these children," said Whitworth. "St. Jude ensures that no family ever pays for their child's care. We at Window World are honored to help make this possible."

Beginning in 2008, Window World set a goal of providing funding for one full day of operations $1.7 million for St. Jude. In 2011, Window World exceeded that goal by donating $2.3 million. In 2010, Window World Cares was named New Corporate Partner of the Year because of its ongoing involvement with St. Jude.

More than 200 Window World stores nationwide will donate toward a second day of funding for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Window World plans to execute a number of activities during the year to help meet the goal. One of the biggest events will be the Window World Family Reunion, an annual gathering that brings all of Window World together. The last two Family Reunions each raised more than $500,000 for Window World Cares. This year's reunion is scheduled to take place August 1 5, 2012.

Additionally, Window World raises funds through 'the Stinger,' a 2011 concept show car and tribute to the first ever winning Indianapolis 500 car, the 1911 Marmon Wasp. The Stinger showcases the signatures of more than 190 former Indy 500 starters. For each signature received, Window World makes a donation of $189 the price of a Window World replacement window to Window World Cares. To date, signatures on the Stinger have resulted in donations totaling more than $36,000.
