NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The UGG® brand (a division of Deckers BrandsNYSE: DECK) and online retailer Zappos teamed up to host an event on the campus of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® to donate UGG® slippers and celebrate a recent generous donation from Zappos. Both companies who have a strong connection to children's causes set out to bring a touch of comfort to the patients of St. Jude.
This event commemorated the $100,000 raised for St. Jude through the Zappos Gives to St. Jude Kids Program, which ran from Dec. 23-31, 2015. Zappos donated 10 percent of the retail price of each pair of UGG® slippers sold through the online retailer's site for a $100,000 donation to the lifesaving mission of St. Jude. Thanks to the partnerships like this, 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.
