St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Mission Statement

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.®

We are the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since we opened more than 50 years ago. And we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

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.

Why Donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital?

Unlike other hospitals, the majority of our funding comes from individual contributions. And thanks to generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. By donating cryptocurrency, you’ll be making an immediate impact, not only for our patients, but for children around the world. All discoveries made by St. Jude are freely shared with doctors and researchers, exponentially increasing the impact of your gift
