Effective Fundraising in Action
When St. Jude opened in 1962, effective treatment for childhood cancer was largely unavailable, posing a grim outlook for affected children. Since the hospital's establishment, however, the survival rate for childhood cancer has improved dramatically, soaring from 20% to over 80%. St. Jude's mission is clear: they strive relentlessly until no child dies from cancer. Their research and findings are shared globally, helping other institutions enhance treatments for children everywhere.
