Frequently asked questions
How do I make a memorial donation to St. Jude?
If you do not have a link to donate to a specific memorial fund page, you can donate online, call (800) 213-6584, or mail a check to "Memorial Giving: 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105." Please include the name of the individual that the gift is in memory of on your check.
How do I notify someone that I made a memorial donation?
If you make a memorial donation outside of a fund, you have the option to send a notification card through mail or email. If you donate to a memorial fund, the fund creator will be notified automatically.
How should I word my memorial donation?
Our default card says: A gift has been made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in memory of ADD NAME HERE. This gift will continue to bring hope to the children of St. Jude today, tomorrow and beyond.
Common wording for further personalization includes: "So sorry for your loss." ; "Sending love and prayers during this difficult time." ; "With deepest sympathy on the loss of ADD NAME HERE."
