St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a leading hospital and research institution focused on advancing cures and prevention methods for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Founded in 1962, St. Jude combines patient care with research to improve survival rates and develop new treatments that are shared with doctors and scientists around the world. Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped increase the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% in the United States.
American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC) is the fundraising and awareness organization that supports St. Jude. Its donor contributions and community-based efforts help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
