Is St. Jude a good charity?
We’re proud that St. Jude is not only one of the largest healthcare charities in the United States, but one that delivers results, is highly regarded by our patients and team and is trusted by our stakeholders.
Treatments invented atSt. Judehave helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent when we opened to more than 80 percent today. Our donors can trust that their giving has helped save the lives of thousands of children. And, no family ever receives a bill fromSt. Judefor treatment, travel, housing and food — so they can focus on helping their child live. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
