St. Jude’s home giveaway fundraiser returns to Oxford
Oxford’s St. Jude Dream Home tickets cost $100 apiece, with every sale helping cover treatment, travel, housing and food for families.
The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Oxford is selling $100 tickets that help cover treatment, travel, housing and food for families at St. Jude. The hospital’s pitch is blunt: “Win a house. Help save kids' lives.”
St. Jude says every ticket helps ensure families never receive a bill for those costs, allowing them to focus on helping their child live. The Oxford page includes a sign-up-for-updates link and a ticket-purchase call to action, pushing the fundraiser beyond a simple raffle and into a direct donation drive with a house attached.
The Oxford campaign is part of a national program St. Jude says now includes more than 40 home giveaways across the U.S. That scale matters in Lafayette County because the local event is not a one-off novelty; it is one stop in a recurring fundraising model that turns a house drawing into money for pediatric care.
Local ties to the Oxford effort surfaced when St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital - Mississippi marked the official kickoff of the Oxford Dream Home on Tuesday, April 7. Maximus Building Supply was identified as backing the first St. Jude Dream Home in Oxford, linking the fundraiser to a local business presence as the campaign moved into the community.
The Oxford effort arrives as St. Jude continues to use home giveaways across Mississippi and the region to drive participation. In Mississippi, the 2026 Tupelo Dream Home is listed at an estimated value of $725,000 with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, while the Jackson Dream Home is listed at an estimated value of $550,000 with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the house and other prizes were given away on April 29.
St. Jude’s regional Dream Home activity has also extended beyond Mississippi. The 2026 New Orleans Dream Home winner was Sandra Lebeau of Metairie, Louisiana, showing the reach of the program beyond any single city. In Oxford, the campaign’s beneficiary-centered design is reinforced by a patient photo captioned with the name Karina, keeping the focus on the medical mission behind the prize.
For Lafayette County buyers, the transaction is straightforward: a $100 ticket buys a shot at a house and sends money into a system St. Jude says shields families from bills for care, travel, housing and food. That is the value proposition now on the table in Oxford.
