St. Jude Inspire tells the stories of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to inspire trust, hope and faith in the mission that drives us: Finding cures. Saving children.®

We hope you’re inspired to join our mission as a donor, volunteer or employee. We need your help to reach our founder Danny Thomas’ once-audacious goal to end childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases so no child dies in the dawn of life.

Founded in 1962, St. Jude leads the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with Danny Thomas’ vision, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all they should worry about is helping their child live.
