Furthering Danny's legacy
In 1962, the year that St. Jude opened, Danny Thomas began building a legacy with the dream: "No child should die in the dawn of life."® Since then, St. Jude has made a tremendous impact in the lives of children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases in all 50 states and around the world.
Lifetime giving provides you a unique opportunity to further Danny Thomas' dream and shape the future of St. Jude for years to come.
