Being in the hospital can be ruff, but we help sick kids feel less melon-Collie by giving our human friends at St. Jude all the nuzzles. Treatments invented at St. Jude helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago.

But fur real—80 percent isn't good enough. We won't stop until no child dies from cancer. So join us and commit to daily walks with your human friend today through September 30 to celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

Join our pack and register for PAWS for St. Jude — it’s the leash you can do.

Here’s how it works:

What is PAWS at Play?

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Since 2019, PAWS at Play program has brightened the days of patients, families and employees. As specially trained service dogs, we hold patients’ paws, celebrate successes and milestones along the most difficult journeys. We help any of our patient friends no matter the background. The best part of our job? While things may look a little different today, we offer unconditional love and acceptance through social interaction.
