Players and coaches from around the NBA are becoming St. Jude Ambassadors and giving hope to children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Because of your support, we can provide children cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.
The Toronto Raptors visit the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital campus and meet St. Jude patients Stella and Caleb. .

"I'm a proud St. Jude supporter and really want to help spread the word about all of the great work this hospital is doing. Most people know that St. Jude is a major cancer treatment center, but not many are aware of the amazing sickle cell treatment program they have."
Mike Conley, Memphis Grizzlies
"St. Jude is one of the really special places in our country ... the research and what they do for sick kids is unbelievable. I enjoy every visit I can make to the hospital, especially spending time with the kids and their families. They inspire me and remind me of what real champions look like."
Rick Carlisle, Dallas Mavericks
"This is a place where kids get hope, kids that are really sick, get a place to have hope and be cured. It's a great honor to be part of the St. Jude family."
Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies
"St. Jude is making a huge impact in the world because they take families from all over the world. A lot of families come here and everything is paid for and they are in great hands. It's an amazing place!"

The awareness and funds raised through NBA Ambassadors help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
