All around the country, teenagers are making a difference in the lives of patients of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The St. Jude Rally Against Childhood Cancer program takes some of the best parts of high school – fun, friends and school spirit – and combines them with the mission of helping doctors and researchers at St. Jude put an end to childhood cancer. It’s easy for high schools to Rally Against Childhood Cancer during the week of a big game or other major campus event. Student leaders take on the goal of telling their classmates and communities about the awesome research done at St. Jude. Any student can sign up and join the effort. Next, everyone works together to raise funds for St. Jude in fun and creative ways. The best part is when schools celebrate their success at the end of the week during the big game or event. What could be more fun than winning the big game and knowing that you have helped save the lives of thousands of children around the world? Rally unites students, teachers and your local community with the goal of helping the kids of St. Jude.

What people are saying about Rally

“It’s very easy to introduce the Rally program to your school. For us it began with a school assembly and a short video. Everyone was very excited about the program and eager to get started. Our St. Jude representative was very helpful throughout the process. She carefully explained instructions and was present every step of the way.”
– Jason, student, Georgetown Preparatory School, Bethesda, Maryland

“To date, this is the largest task our student council has ever taken upon themselves, and it was a success. It was a blessing to see so many high school students came together with one purpose, helping the children of St. Jude. In a day and age in which educators are all too often focusing on test scores and performance, we were able to witness what truly matters most - giving and caring for others.” 
– Chris Kerrick, Student Council Sponsor, Marshall County High School, Benton, Kentucky

“I really loved the Rally Against Childhood Cancer event. I never want to leave the St. Jude family. I had the best time and my St. Jude representative was so fun and helpful. Wherever I go next year, Rally is coming with me. I’m addicted.” 
– Pat Lambert, senior, Portsmouth High School, Portsmouth, Rhode Island
