FEBRUARY'S COMMUNITY SERVICE CAUSE
St. Jude Children’s Hospital was founded by in 1962 based on the
vision of Danny Thomas. Danny believed that no child should be ill
in the dawn of their life. St. Jude specializes in providing
pediatric research and treatment focused on catastrophic life changing
diseases, particularly leukemia and other cancers. St. Jude has
provided treatment to children in all 50 states and from around the
world. Since the start of the program more than 50 years ago,
medical innovations supplied by St. Jude has increased the childhood
cancer survival rate from 20% to 80%.
In addition to caring for the patients, the families are provided
money for travel, housing, and food allowing the focus to be on the
healing and wellbeing of the patient. The hospital costs
approximately $2.8 million dollars to run. However, thanks to vision
of the Danny Thomas and the donations received, families of the
patients will never receive a bill from St. Jude. Donations today
will assist in providing the services offered by the program to
patients and their families. Additional information about the history
of St. Jude Children’s Hospital and their mission can be found at
