The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with founder Danny Thomas’ vision, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay. No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all they should worry about is helping their child live.

Founded in 1962, St. Jude leads the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
