St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life.
Donor Spotlight While his biggest interests are the arts and the environment, he gives to St. Jude because, “as a result of your work, kids are alive today who wouldn't have survived (catastrophic illnesses) just a few years ago. As important as preserving art is, it isn’t the same as saving a child’s life.”
