We are so grateful for all of you who participated, gave and joined us in the fight against pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases. For 45 years, the St. Jude Telethon has given our community a way to further the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live..
To learn more about next year's event or volunteer opportunities, contact Corinne Olson at corinne.olson@alsac.stjude.org or (309) 566-3500.
