Hope and Heritage

The St. Jude Hope and Heritage Committee honors the inspiring legacy of Danny Thomas, founder of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and celebrates his Middle Eastern heritage. Danny founded ALSAC (American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities) in 1957 as the fundraising and awareness organization of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The generous contributions of the Middle Eastern community, both then and now, have been integral to fulfilling Danny’s vision that “no child should die in the dawn of life.”

Every step helps save lives. That’s why our team has signed up to fundraise for the St. Jude Walk as we join the nationwide movement to honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and support those who need us most — the kids of St. Jude.

Can we count on you to make a donation or join our team?

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

In addition to supporting groundbreaking research, your donation or participation also helps ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live. You can help us make a difference.
 

Thank you for supporting the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today.
