BOISE, Idaho — Boise Cascade, a North American manufacturer of wood products, has announced the results of its companywide philanthropic campaign benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The company raised $423,128.56, surpassing its original goal by over $150,000.

The month-long campaign was marked by grassroots efforts across Boise Cascade’s 60+ locations in the U.S. and Canada. Every dollar raised will support the mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.

“Our people showed up in the most incredible way and I am proud beyond words,” said Jeff Strom, Boise Cascade’s chief operating officer. “This isn’t just a fundraising campaign; it is a reflection of who we are. I am deeply grateful and moved by the outpouring of support from our associates, vendors, suppliers, and customers who gave from their own pocketbooks to support this campaign and help us do something truly extraordinary together.”

This campaign aligns with Boise Cascade’s longstanding commitment to community involvement and investing in nonprofit organizations that align with its values and help people and communities thrive. St. Jude was selected for a focused campaign after several members of the company’s leadership team were introduced to the story of Carson Elizabeth. Elizabeth, a St. Jude patient who died due to cancer when she was nine years old, is the daughter of one of Boise Cascade’s customers.

“Boise Cascade’s generosity is a powerful example of what happens when a company and its customers come together with purpose,” said Steve Froehlich, chief revenue officer at ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “While treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for childhood cancer in the U.S. to more than 80%, we know there’s still a lot of work to be done. We are immensely grateful to Boise Cascade for honoring Carson and her family’s journey and partnering with us in the ongoing effort to make more cures possible for kids with cancer.”

This is the second consecutive year Boise Cascade has led a companywide campaign to support St. Jude, bringing the company’s total contributions to more than $675,000. Every dollar the company raises for St. Jude is in honor of Elizabeth.
