Is St. Jude a good charity?

Our donors can trust that their giving has helped save the lives of thousands of children. Treatments invented atSt. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent when we opened to more than 80 percent today. And, no family ever receives a bill fromSt. Jude – not for the cost of treatment, travel, housing and food because we believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live. We won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
