Why support St. Jude families this Father's Day?

From the moment a patient is accepted at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, they forever become part of the St. Jude family — made up of a dedicated team of doctors, staffers, fundraisers and supporters like you.

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer. 

By 2030, our goal is to cure at least 60% of children with six of the most common kinds of cancer worldwide.
