Katherine's Art For Target House

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.
