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 Jean Mary Kinney has supported St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since its beginning. As a tribute to her mother who was a steadfast supporter of the hospital, Miss Kinney named the hospital as the beneficiary of her entire estate, and in 2012, she also established a charitable gift annuity with St. Jude.
