ST. JUDE
HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN

Donate a patient wagon

Red wagons are the preferred mode of travel through the halls of the hospital for our youngest patients.

Help provide meals for a St. Jude family for one week

St. Jude provides patients and their families with meal cards for breakfast, lunch and dinner in Kay Kafe, the hospital’s cafeteria.

Help provide one platelet transfusion

During chemotherapy, the platelet count of patients can drop to dangerously low levels so platelet transfusions are essential for treatment.

Help provide parent necessities for 20 patient families

Parents who bring their children to St. Jude often leave home in a hurry and forget to pack day-to-day necessities such as shampoos, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and lotion. At Tri Delta Place, our short-term housing facility, parents can obtain these essentials free of charge.

Help Child Life host the annual Teen Formal

This celebrates one of the most important events in a teen’s life. Patients and their siblings ages 13 to 19 are invited to dance the night away. This glamorous evening, complete with red carpet, limousines, prom pictures, formal wear, and makeovers, creates an unforgettable night for our teens.

Help cover the cost of the daily room rate of the ICU

The Intensive Care Unit at St. Jude has twice been recognized with the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence given by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. In 2009, the St. Jude ICU became Tennessee’s first ICU to win the honor.
