Thank you for participating in 16th annual Lone Stars & Angels in Austin, Texas, as we celebrated the 60th anniversary of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and supported our lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®
Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
For additional infromation on next year's event or to learn how to get involved, connect with Laura Murphy at Laura.Murphy@alsac.stjude.org or (512) 638-0513.
Treatments invented 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 developing countries, however, only 1 out of 5 children diagnosed with cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.

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.
