St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Why Support St. Jude?
Families never receive a bill
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
Mission:
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 the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
