Katherine and
other celebrity friends of
Target House, such as Oprah Winfrey, Carrie Underwood,
Christina Aguilera, John Travolta and Tom Hanks have designed
elephant "works of art" to be framed and unveiled as part of
Target House's Elephant Exhibition.
The exhibition was conceived to echo the life-sized elephant
water fountain sculpture designed by architect Michael Graves
that greets guests and families at the entrance to the
Target House grounds. Elephants represent family, long life,
strength and playfulness, which is why they serve as a mascot
for
Target House.
Target House, a long-term housing facility for families of patients who are receiving life-saving treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., turned
"double-digits" this year. To commemorate 10 years of providing a home-away-from-home for St. Jude patients and their families,
Target House is celebrating this milestone
with a star-studded event by involving celebrities who have helped contribute to the House over the years.
In addition to the exhibition, celebrity friends will join former and current
Target House residents to celebrate 10 years with a big top birthday party.
Guests will also be able to tour newly remodelled celebrity-designed
rooms, which have all received makeovers to help inspire and enhance
resident life at Target House.
Target has
launched an online "Wish List" of items needed and requested
specifically by St. Jude patients and their families. Guests who
visit
Target House will be able to buy special gifts for St. Jude
children and their families throughout the year.
