Families are free to focus on their child
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.
We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer
Our founder believed that "no child should die in the dawn of life," and we’ve spent more than half a century focusing on our mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
Help us go even further in conquering childhood cancer.
To be able to just get my son here and not think about how we will pay for it, it just takes so much weight off of my family.
Every donation counts
Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from individual contributors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situation.
Approximately 75% of the budgeted costs of St. Jude are covered by public contributions.
Saving children everywhere
St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world.
