Welcome to the 22nd annual Day of Remembrance. We are so glad you joined us. While we wish we could have visited with you here on the St. Jude campus, we worked hard to create a meaningful virtual experience for you and your family. Please know that we are all connected by heart and by spirit as we honor and remember the lives of your precious children with you.
For emotional support, please call 901-595-2658 or email askdor@stjude.org.

Virtual Day of Remembrance Agenda
View the pre-recorded Day of Remembrance events as often as you wish on your own schedule:
Virtual Memory Boards
When Day of Remembrance was on-campus, families decorated large boards with photos and mementos of their children. Staff visited with families and shared memories and stories of their children while looking at the memory boards. This year, we created virtual memory boards with photos and stories of your children you shared with us. You can see photos and read heartwarming stories about the children being honored and remembered during Day of Remembrance.
Family Panel Discussion
Six panelists representing St. Jude families, along with a parent moderator, explored nine topics of grief and bereavement.
Memory-making activity with Child Life
Child life specialists explain and demonstrate a memory-making activity for the entire family. You can do the activity along with them or save it for later.
