Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) is an opportunity for us to come together in the fight against childhood cancer. Together, St. Louis can make a big impact and St. Jude is inviting you to be a part of our first-ever CCAM efforts!
Locally, CCAM offers three unique ways to engage the community in the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
- The Saints Gala on August 28, 2021 at Busch Stadium is where we will roll out the red carpet to kick off CCAM for St. Louis and Missouri. Limited sponsorships remaining — don’t miss your chance to be part of the inaugural Gala!
- The St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer on September 25, 2021 at Ballpark Village will be the concluding event as we celebrate the philanthropic spirit of St. Louis. Register your family or corporate team today!
- Our Mission Experience will bring the magic of St. Jude to St. Louis. This unique experience will be unveiled at The Saints Gala, and then displayed in locations citywide during September — allowing our community to enjoy a glimpse into the mission of St. Jude.

After Brinley was referred to St. Jude, her care team went to work, creating an innovative strategy tailored specifically to her needs. “They really worked together in optimizing what was the best for her,” Brinley’s mom said.
When you support St. Jude, you’re supporting the research hospital that has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%. And we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. Today, this energetic young girl is finished with treatment and dreams of becoming a children’s doctor.
