What are Facebook fundraising challenges? 

Facebook Challenges are a fun way to show your support for causes like St. Jude. Participants complete a specific task while connecting with others in Facebook groups and raising funds from their networks. When you use a Facebook Challenge to raise money for us specifically, the funds raised will go to support the current and future needs of St. Jude and our patients.

Make a difference for the children of St. Jude

Unlike other hospitals, the majority of funding for St. Jude comes from generous donors. The funds you raise help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - so they can focus on helping their child live.
