WHY WE DO IT...

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our mission is clear: Finding Cures. Saving children.  Families NEVER RECEIVE A BILL from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.  Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened 50 years ago.  St. Jude SHARES discoveries, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.  St. Jude conducts more clinical trials for childhood cancer than anyone else.  St. Jude is where doctors often send their toughest cases because St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for some of the most aggressive forms of childhood cancer.  St. Jude treats children from ALL 50 STATES and all AROUND THE WORLD.   Because a majority of St. Jude funding comes from generous donors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most- saving kids regardless of their financial situation.
