Why Donate to St. Jude?

Be a part of the St. Jude Mission.


St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The unique thing about St. Jude is that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live. Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer.


Help today's patients become tomorrow's survivors.


St. Jude has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% in 1962 to 80% today and their goal is to raise that number to 100%. St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer. The care provided at St. Jude is customized for some of the world's sickest children regardless of their race, ethnicity, beliefs, or ability to pay from all around the world.


Every dollar makes a difference.


Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from generous donors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most - saving kids! Here are some ways your donation could be used to support the patients of St. Jude:

 

    • $5 could help provide 167 pediatric bandages for children during hospital visits.
