Founded by Frater Danny Thomas (Gamma-Nu, Toledo), St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital works every day to fulfill Danny’s dream that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” No family every receives a bill from St. Jude and Tekes across the world have made great strides to support the cause.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Quick Facts
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
- 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 its opening. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
- Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from individual contributors and partners like Tau Kappa Epsilon, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most – saving kids regardless of their financial situation.
- St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
