CHRISTMAS AND THE KING

There is no cause more worthy than the children of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. This incredible organization is treating cancer and other devastating illnesses in children, offering hope and in many cases, a cure for what would otherwise be devastation and despair.

On my recent visit to Graceland, to unveil my newest tribute to The King – Graceland Christmas – we were joined by Marlo and Tony Thomas. Stars in their own right, each of them, they are also the children of the founder of St. Jude’s, Danny Thomas. Martina McBride was also there – I confess even I was a little star-struck. We were there for the Christmas Lighting Celebration at the beloved home of Elvis Presley, which was bedecked and bedazzled with lights for the holidays. It was a joyous and festive occasion and together with five children from St. Jude’s, we all counted down and flipped the switch to light up Graceland! It was a delightful setting for sharing my newest homage to The King.

A New Day at the Cinderella Castle will now hang in a hallway of St. Jude’s – complete with its rainbow and Tinker Bell, it is my hope that it will add a bit of brightness to their mission of sharing light and hope in a world of darkness.
