The 2026 Relay for St. Jude Campaign has officially kicked off!
Last year, The Pen Addict raised over $25,000 during the month of September for Childhood Cancer Awareness month as part of over $700,000 raised by the Relay community. Since 2019, we have raised over $4.8 MILLION dollars for the kids, and are excited to keep it going.
For this year’s fundraiser, I’m running back most of what I did last year with Tiltify, our long-time fundraising partner. Yes, there will be postcard art, a new Ink “Cowboy Pony” Club to paint, and an opportunity for me to roast your favorite stationery. Oh yeah, there are awesome Relay digital and physical goodies, too.
What else is in store? In my attempt to raise $20,000 this year, I have enlisted the help of many wonderful friends around the stationery world, and with each $2000 raised, I’ll drop a new giveaway on the blog. Like last year, these giveaways are free to enter, and everyone can participate - no donations required. If you can help us spread the word I wouldn’t mind!
And if we clear $20,000 before the month is out, I’ll just have to add more awesomeness. And you should be sure that I have more awesomeness!
Find out all of the details and incentives directly on my campaign page, or head directly to the donations page if you would like to participate.
I’ll be promoting this campaign through the month, and I’ll be in Memphis once again this year for our Podcastathon, live from the campus at St. Jude. Me, Myke, Stephen, Kathy, Casey, and Jason will be bringing our best YEE-HAW game to the event, so I hope you can join us.
Thank you again to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts over the years, and here’s to another big year in 2026!
