About NFL PLAY 60

Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live.

St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
Every dollar you donate makes an impact in the lives of St. Jude kids and their families.
