Juice Plus+ Celebrates 24 Years of Supporting St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend

The Juice Plus+ Company, along with The Juice Plus+ Foundation, proudly continues a remarkable legacy of support for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Serving as the presenting sponsor for the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend, Juice Plus+ has remained committed to this essential cause since 2001. This annual event stands out as the largest single-day fundraising effort for the hospital, emphasizing the significance of community, hope, and perseverance.

Scheduled for December 6, 2025, this year’s marathon weekend promises to mobilize participants for a noble cause – funding critical research and treatment for children battling cancer and other life-threatening conditions. Highlighting the belief that health extends beyond individual wellness to encompass community well-being, Gina Ghura, Chief Marketing Officer of Juice Plus+, expressed her enthusiasm for the event. 'Being part of the St. Jude Marathon Weekend for over two decades is an honor. Together, we run for hope, breakthroughs, and every child who deserves a chance,' she stated.

With the support of Juice Plus+, the marathon serves not only as a race but as a collective effort to uplift families through the promise that treatment, travel, housing, and food are provided at no cost to them. This model of support ensures that families can focus on what truly matters – the health and recovery of their children.

Community Engagement Through Various Initiatives

Juice Plus+ involvement extends beyond sponsorship. The event sees participation from Team Juice Plus+, which includes employees, sales partners, and local community members. Together, they unite to either run, walk, or volunteer for this significant cause, emphasizing the power of collective action.

One exciting feature of the marathon is the Spirit Station, an energetic activation zone along the race course designed to motivate participants as they traverse the track. This lively atmosphere celebrates every stride towards a healthier future.

Juice Plus+ also introduces its Healthy Starts Program, encouraging all individuals to contribute to healthier lifestyles in their communities. By gifting free Juice Plus+ capsules or chewables to children aged 4-25 with a qualifying subscription, Juice Plus+ promotes the importance of nutrition from a young age. This initiative aims to instill habits that foster health and happiness, ensuring that families build a foundation for well-being together.

Ike Anand, President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, expressed profound gratitude for Juice Plus+ longstanding partnership. 'Their support has helped raise over $154 million, enabling St. Jude to continue its lifesaving mission and provide hope to children and families around the globe,' Anand remarked.

The St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend features an array of race options to better accommodate various participants, including marathon, half-marathon, 10K, and 5K events. Participants can also engage in a 2-Race Challenge, offering everyone the chance to contribute to the mission.
