This year, CBS Sports unleashed the fun, fandom and excitement of fantasy football for the benefit of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This six-hour event ran on CBSSports.com and the Fantasy Football Today Twitch channel, sharing St. Jude patient stories and information. Joined by more than a dozen of the most notable fantasy experts, this event was the most successful St. Jude fantasy football fundraiser ever, with viewership, funds raised and social engagement eclipsing all previous years.
We appreciate the care, attention and effort the CBS Sports team took in sharing our lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.® Thank you for being star players in the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Since 2016, CBS SPORTS, College Football Today and THE NFL TODAY have made a priority of bringing sports to St. Jude patients and families each year.
With the support of CBS SPORTS, the NFL and football fans around the country, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because we believe all they should worry about is helping their child live.
