St. Jude patient Cypress with Sam Hunt
Music changes lives, much like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. This is possible thanks to music fans like you.
St. Jude founder Danny Thomas' grandson Jason Thomas Gordon started Music Gives to St. Jude Kids®, inspired by Danny's dream that "no child should die in the dawn of life."
Music Gives to St. Jude Kids is where music lovers connect their passion for music to the mission of St. Jude.
