About our charity….. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, located in Memphis, Tennes-see, is one of the world’s premier centers for research and treatment of catastrophic diseases in children, primarily pediatric cancers.

Mission

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

Founding

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Dan-ny Thomas and opened in 1962.

When late entertainer Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 1962, he was not just changing the

lives of children who would walk through its doors—he was changing lives across the world. When St. Jude completed its $1 billion, five-year

expansion in 2005, it bolstered the hospital's efforts to find cures for the catastrophic diseases of childhood. The growth more than doubled the size of the hospital’s original campus. The expansion included the

Children's GMP, LLC—the nation's only pediatric research center on-site facility for production of highly specialized treatments and vaccines—an expanded Department of Immunology and more. Now with the addition of the Chili’s Care Center, a larger, rejuvenated Kay Kafe cafeteria for employees and patients, and renovations to the medicine room and

rehabilitation areas, the hospital is more poised than ever to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases

through research and treatment.
