Why donate to St. Jude?
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
Although we accept insurance, St. Jude is a research hospital, so many of the treatment services we provide are not covered by insurance. Unlike other hospitals, a majority of the funding for St. Jude comes from generous donors who help us ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
And St. Jude publishes research and clinical trials to turn laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments that benefit patients. You donation will help children worldwide.
