Bossier City, La. — The long‑standing KTKS 3 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway will culminate Tuesday afternoon with a live drawing at 3 p.m. The event, a cornerstone fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, has once again sold out all 17,500 tickets.
About the Dream Home
The prize home, located at 780 Duckwater Landing, is a newly built, two‑story custom residence valued at $715,000. Features include an open‑floor‑plan layout, a media loft for family entertainment, a scullery for meal preparation, an extended patio with an outdoor kitchen, and a Generac standby generator installed by G&S Electric.
History of the Fundraiser
What began 36 years ago as a local KTKS 3 initiative to support pediatric cancer treatment has grown into a nationwide program. Each year, the giveaway draws contributions from individuals and businesses across the country, all directed to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The hospital’s mission is to ensure that families never receive a bill for treatment, housing, or food while caring for a seriously ill child.
How to Contribute
Although ticket sales are complete, donations remain welcome. Contributors can give online through the KTKS 3 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway website or by calling 800‑724‑2423. Every dollar supports St. Jude’s life‑saving research and patient‑family assistance programs.
Live Broadcast Details
The drawing will be streamed live on KPXJ CW 21 and KTKS 3 News, beginning at 3 p.m. Tuesday. Viewers can watch the moment the winning ticket is selected and see the home’s highlights on‑screen.
Community Impact
Local businesses and volunteers have played a vital role in making the giveaway possible. The event not only raises critical funds for a national pediatric cause but also showcases Bossier City’s commitment to charitable outreach and community spirit.
