While patients from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® won’t be on the green during the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational from July 30-August 2, they won’t be forgotten. As the sole charitable beneficiary of the tournament, St. Jude will have patient artwork featured throughout the tournament, including on custom FootJoy® shoes, apparel, and gloves, as well as TaylorMade® putter covers, and caddie bibs – bringing global awareness to its lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.® This year, the children’s artwork is tied to inspirational themes like Hope, Believe, Life and more.
At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, child life specialists create many opportunities for children to play and express themselves. Therapeutic activities like art can enhance their coping skills and provide an outlet for feelings, peer interaction and a sense of mastery. To share some of their inspirational drawings with the world, FedEx partnered with FootJoy® and St. Jude to feature artwork from patients Ally, Caleb, Dakota and Nate, which will be worn by FootJoy athletes Abraham Ancer, Webb Simpson, Cameron Smith and Justin Thomas, respectively. In addition, a collection of all the designs will be featured on FootJoy shoes worn by Ian Poulter, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Max Homa, Billy Horschel and more than two dozen others.
New for 2020, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Matthew Wolff and Collin Morikawa will be protecting their TaylorMade® putters with artwork created by St. Jude patients Alana, Anthony Lawrence, Caleb, David, Juvencio and Victoria.
