St. Jude has a $12.9 billion, six-year strategic plan.
Read more about the largest strategic plan in our 60-year history, which grants $200 million in global access to cancer medicines.
It costs more than $2 billion to sustain and grow St. Jude each year. Care doesn't end when treatment is finished. St. Jude follows patients for life, learning from yesterday's patients to improve care and outcomes for tomorrow.
Around the world, an estimated 400,000 children will get cancer each year, and yet childhood cancer research is consistently underfunded. Less than 4% of the U.S. federal budget for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancer.
St. Jude: Investing in global research and treatment
In the years ahead, an estimated 89% of the funds necessary to sustain and grow St. Jude must be raised by ALSAC from generous donors.
St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world.
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 60 years ago.
