Brooks Brothers hosted over 300 guests who enjoyed an array of festive activities including photos with Santa, holiday projects such as cookie and ornament decorating, and balloon art. Guests delighted in hot chocolate provided by Williams-Sonoma, while 14-year-old DJ phenom Oscar Adler (son of record producer Lou Adler) provided the music.
In addition to the fun festivities, Brooks Brothers will donate 10 percent of both evenings’ net sales to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.

The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign was created by Marlo Thomas, and her siblings, Terre and Tony Thomas, the children of hospital founder Danny Thomas. The campaign asks customers to “Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not.” Brooks Brothers has created several unique products for the campaign including, Brooksie and Brooke stuffed bears, the children’s book Tales from Brooks Brothers, Introducing Henry’s Unsuitable Adventure, a silk tie, a signature ribbon belt, St. Jude Kiel James Patrick tie and wrap bracelets, cookies and panattone in a collectible tin. The company will donate $5 from the sale of each of these items to St. Jude.
Brooks Brothers is currently celebrating its 10 year partnership with St. Jude. Since 2005, Brooks Brothers has raised more than $10 million for the organization, which is one of the world’s premiere centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
