WHY WE DO IT...

 

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our mission is clear: Finding Cures. Saving children. 

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.  Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened 50 years ago. 

St. Jude SHARES discoveries, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.  St. Jude conducts more clinical trials for childhood cancer than anyone else. 

St. Jude is where doctors often send their toughest cases because St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for some of the most aggressive forms of childhood cancer.  St. Jude treats children from ALL 50 STATES and all AROUND THE WORLD.   

Because a majority of St. Jude funding comes from generous donors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most- saving kids regardless of their financial situation.

HOW MUCH WE RAISED...
Over the past 9 years, Ol Red 99-5 listeners have raised  $637,211 for the kids of St. Jude!

Top 5 Reasons to Become a Monthly Donor to St. Jude

1. You’ll make a life-changing impact—every single month.
Thanks to generous monthly donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Your support helps them focus on what truly matters: helping their child live.

2. You're funding research that saves lives.
Every month, your gift fuels groundbreaking research and treatment for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Together, we’re giving kids a second chance—and the future they deserve.

3. You're supporting care without barriers.
St. Jude treats children from all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or ability to pay. Every child receives personalized care, and your donation helps eliminate the barriers that stand in the way of hope.

4. Most of our funding comes from donors like you.
Unlike many hospitals, the majority of St. Jude’s funding comes from individuals—not insurance or government sources. Since opening in 1962, we've helped raise the childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to over 80%. But we won't stop until it's 100%.

5. You’re helping kids dream bigger.
Every year, 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide—many without access to proper care. Your monthly gift helps ensure that more kids can grow up, chase their dreams, and maybe even change the world.
