Why St. Jude? St. Jude is a beacon of light in a parent’s darkest night. St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do more science more quickly; where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients and where no family ever pays for anything. St. Jude is America's 2nd-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops. The world’s epicenter for the research and treatment of childhood deadly diseases Founded by the late entertainer, Danny Thomas, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened in 1962 for the purpose of finding cures for childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Since that time, St. Jude has emerged as the world’s premier pediatric cancer research center and has raised The 2nd Annual the overall cure rate for childhood cancer from less than 20 percent to 80 percent today. St. Jude has a unique mission: to serve as a national and international resource for the medical community in the struggle against pediatric cancers and other deadly diseases. In fact, St. Jude has one of the largest and most active sickle cell disease programs in the nation.
