To celebrate Giving Tuesday, St Jude Children’s Research Hospital has partnered with BBDO, Facebook Creative Shop and Flight School to launch a unique VR experience in honor of St Jude and the families they support…the 'St Jude Hall of Heroes'.

Inspired by the bravery and resilience of the children being treated at St Jude, the St Jude Hall of Heroes experience imagines patients as larger than life superheroes. Viewers hear directly from patients and their families, celebrating their stories and spreading awareness of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The experience is set on floating islands—each island with statues 60 feet tall, each one unique in representing a St. Jude patient and their story.

The Idea was chosen following a competition at last summer’s Cannes Lions Festival. The experience will be available to demo on Oculus Quest devices exclusively in select Best Buy stores. The VR experience will be available more broadly on the Oculus platform in early 2020.
