I. Introduction
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (“St. Jude”) leads the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities, Inc. (“ALSAC” or “our”) was created to raise the funds needed to build and operate St. Jude, and ALSAC remains the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude today.
These Payment Terms form an agreement between ALSAC and individuals who are donating to ALSAC (“donors” or “you”) through our online platforms including stjude.org and My Supporter Account. We greatly value our donors as they help ensure our mission continues so that no family receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
