Families Climb Aboard to Celebrate the Holidays and Support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
CHICAGO (Nov. 1) – Candy Cane Express is coming to Chicago for the first time this holiday season on Saturday, December 7. Children and families will experience the holiday festivities in a whole new way by climbing aboard a fully-decorated Metra train, interacting with Santa, listening to carolers, and enjoying milk and cookies.
Candy Cane Express is partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for this family-focused event. St. Jude is the global leader in finding cures and saving children battling cancer and other deadly diseases. Twenty percent of all profits from Candy Cane Express, no less than $2 per ticket sold, will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
