Why donate to St. Jude?
Thanks to our generous supporters, we're leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
We're saving children all over the world
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer. Together, we can save more lives.
We won't stop™
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered largely incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%.
Families never receive a bill
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
