The National Executive Office is located in Memphis, Tennessee.In 2005, St. Jude requires more than $1.5 million (American) in operating costs each day. Around $180,000 is covered by patient insurance, the remaining $1.34 million/day is funded by charitable contributions to ALSAC.To cover these costs, ALSAC raised more than $500 million annually for the hospital through its more than 30,000 fund-raising activities. These include the FedEx St. Jude Classic, which is a PGA Tour event and one of the most visible fund-raising events for the hospital. Other fund-raising programs include the St. Jude Math-A-Thon, Up 'til Dawn, direct mailings, radiothons and television marketing. St. Jude also has a merchandise catalog called the Hope Catalog. The catalog contains everything from shirts to office items, and from patient art to "Give Thanks" wristbands. One of the hospital's most recent and successful fund-raising efforts has been the Dream Home Giveaway. The giveaway allows contest entrants to reserve tickets for $100 each to qualify to win homes valued up to $420,000.
