​St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, based in Memphis, Tennessee, is a leading pediatric treatment and research facility focused on catastrophic childhood diseases, particularly cancer. Founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, its mission is to advance cures and means of prevention through research and treatment, ensuring that no child is denied care based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay. Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus solely on their child’s recovery. St. Jude’s groundbreaking research has significantly increased survival rates for childhood cancers and is shared globally to improve outcomes worldwide.
