In 2017, Rich Eisen and NFL Network decided to ask fans to do more than just run the 40 but to also donate to St. Jude. Fans who submitted videos had the opportunity to be highlighted on NFL Network during the broadcast of Rich’s run.

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.

The NFL and St. Jude partnership

Since 2012, the NFL has partnered with St. Jude, helping patients and families cope with serious illnesses through approaches such as play therapy and peer interaction.

This partnership continues to help raise support and awareness for the lifesaving mission of St. Jude and gives patients unique experiences at various NFL events.

Because of your support, we can provide children cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.
