St Jude Children's Research Hospital
Founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was created to change the way the world understands and treats serious childhood illnesses. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, this nonprofit hospital focuses on research and care for children, ensuring that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Through its global partnerships, St. Jude works to improve outcomes for children worldwide by sharing knowledge and resources where they’re needed most. Nearly 90% of its funding comes from donors, whose support helps move the mission forward. It’s a commitment built on purpose—quietly doing the hard work to give children a better chance at life.
