Why We Support St. Jude
Amazon - Kansas City
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Amazon will "go gold" (the color symbolizing childhood cancer) for the seventh year to support kids impacted by this disease around the world.
The gold ribbon is the universal symbol for childhood cancer, and for this year alone, 400,000 children will be diagnosed with pediatric cancer. Most children affected by such disease can now be cured, with an 85% survival rate, if the right treatment and funding are available.
We have the opportunity to generate a real impact on thousands of children and families by creating greater awareness for the important work being done in cancer research and front line care.
You can support by making a donation or joining our team! Can we count on your support?
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent.
And because St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
Thank you for supporting us and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today. Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
