CARNIVAL Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras has raised a record amount for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, on her inaugural cruise.
Almost USD$22,000 has been raised during the annual Groove For St. Jude event thanks to the generous donations of guests.
“Along with welcoming our guests back on board, our restart allows us to get back to meeting our goal of raising USD$30 million by 2025 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said President Christine Duffy.
“We are proud to support such a worthy cause and even more proud of guests for opening their hearts and raising close to USD$22,000 for St. Jude in one day.”
Mardi Gras was christened during a Universe of Fun celebration on 23 Oct in Port Canaveral (CW 26 Oct), and sailed her inaugural cruise throughout the Caribbean last week.
