St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® today announced that Oklahoma City resident, Mary Yerby is the winner of the 2023 Oklahoma City St. Jude Dream Home® Giveaway. Raising more than $1,100,000 for the patients and families of St. Jude, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway program is celebrating its 16th anniversary in Oklahoma City. Lucky winner Mary Yerby is among many others in the OKC metro who purchased a ticket to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.® Located in The Preserve in Covell Valley, Shaw Homes constructed the house that features an estimated 2,800 square feet and an estimated value of $550,000. The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway has become one of the largest single-event fundraisers for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital nation-
wide. This is the 16th house to be built in this market. To date, 550 houses have been given away and the program has raised more than $550 million for St. Jude. Because a majority of St. Jude funding comes from individual contributors through programs like this, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most – saving kids regardless of their financial situation. All proceeds will help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
