Presented by ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, there’s one thing that brings us together and makes us family: Finding cures. Saving children.® This lifesaving mission is sustained by everyday generosity, with people from all walks of life coming together to save children both down the street and across the globe. As the holidays bring cooler weather and family togetherness, it’s also a time to be thankful and give back. This holiday season, find out how you can get involved, engage employees and show your corporate support.
Throughout the holiday season, supporters, donors and consumers nationwide are asked to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude through various mediums available to them. Join our St. Jude family. This holiday season, we need you.
In the St. Jude family, we believe all kids deserve the chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. That’s why St. Jude works tirelessly to transform science into survival, discovering real cures that save lives.
The Impact of Childhood Cancer
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. That was unacceptable. 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. But we can’t do it without the loyal support of our St. Jude family.
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many countries, however, 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. But where you live shouldn’t determine if you live.
Get Involved
As part of the St. Jude family, you can provide hope to those in need, ensuring that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
