Five Below, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIVE) saw its stock rise in the market of public opinion, as the clothing firm announced it had raised more than $1.7 million during its recent fundraising campaign to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.
The campaign ran from March 21 through April 18, with donations supporting groundbreaking research and treatment of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
“Thanks to the support of this program and others like it,” read Friday’s news release, “Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.
“We continue to be amazed by the generosity of our incredible customers and the efforts of our staff, the Wow Crew, that ultimately contribute to the success of our fundraising campaigns supporting the important work that St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital does, and this recent donation drive is no different,” said Michael Romanko, Chief Merchandising Officer of Five Below.
Five Below’s support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is part of the retailer’s ongoing commitment to supporting philanthropic organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children, teens and families.
Five Below has raised more than $8.9 million for St. Jude since the partnership began in 2008.
FIVE shares began Friday down in price, however, $1.32 to $165.76.
