Around the world, an estimated 400,000 children will get cancer each year
This is why some of the brightest minds in science are working with the world's most sophisticated technologies at St. Jude to speed discoveries that will save these children.

These cutting-edge treatments are helping make the impossible possible as more children grow up to become long-term survivors.
Imagine being a part of curing childhood cancer
We've made so much progress toward curing childhood cancer, but we won't stop now.
Because St. Jude is a research hospital in addition to a care facility, many of the treatment services we provide are not covered by insurance. The majority of funding for St. Jude comes from generous donors.
One in five children in the U.S. who are diagnosed with cancer still will not survive.
With your partnership, we can reach 100% survival rate and achieve the ambitious goal of curing childhood cancer.
