St. Jude
 
St Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fund-raising organization.

   
ALSAC

ALSAC was founded in 1957 for the sole purpose of raising funds for the continued support and maintenance of St. Jude. Thanks to the support of hundreds of thousands of volunteers and donors around the country, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital can pursue Danny Thomas' dream that " no child should die in the dawn of life." Public contributions are the primary source of funds for the hospital. More than 85 percent of the revenues generated are spent on current and future needs of the St. Jude.


Bringing good people together.
