Topeka's St. Jude Dream Home helps fund lifesaving treatment
TOPEKA (KSNT) — KSNT 27 News is excited to officially launch this year's Topeka St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. This week, we’re looking at where the money goes.
St. Jude has the first Proton Therapy Center in the U.S. that is dedicated solely to children. This lets doctors aim high-dose radiation at the cancer cells and miss the healthy cells. Today, it's one of the most advanced and precise forms of radiation treatment that works to treat many kinds of cancers in children, including brain tumors, Ewing sarcoma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, and Hodgkin Lymphoma.
The 2024 Topeka St. Jude Dream Home is located in Sherwood Park, in southwest Topeka. Tickets are $100.
The dream home can be found in southwest Topeka, at 2635 SW Sherwood Park Drive in Topeka. It is being built by Drippé Homes and has an estimated value of $600,000.
Features of the dream home include three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an estimated 2,200 square feet. Free tours of the home run from July 12-28 at the following times:
- Fridays: 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Sundays: Noon to 4 p.m.
Tickets for the 2024 St. Jude Dream Home will be available on our website.
