Comfort Solutions presented St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis with a $250,000 donation—the result of the mattress licensing group’s yearlong fundraiser for the cancer treatment center.
Licensees and retailers for the Willowbrook, Ill.-based licensing group contributed to the fundraiser.
In addition to the check, Comfort Solutions gave the hospital 200 mattress sets and 400 pillows to furnish the Memphis Grizzlies House, a short-term housing facility for patients and families.
“This is an extremely worthy cause which impacts children on a global basis,” said Dave Roberts, Comfort Solutions president and chief operating officer. “When we consider the dedicated hospital staff and the many patients and parents that we met over the past year, we’re very proud to have helped.”
