St. Jude Children's Hospital - Saving children's lives an impacting families

Wanda Pierce

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital/ALSAC is a nonprofit. founded by the late actor and philanthropist Danny Thomas who many may remember starred in the television comedy Make Room for Daddy.   His daughter actress Marlo Thomas (who starred in the television comedy That Girl!) continues her dad’s important philanthropic legacy today.  St. Jude’s serves seriously ill children from across the country with the promise that no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.    In fact, no family ever receives a bill for treatment, transportation, housing or food. 

 Erin shares the important work and mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases such as childhood cancer and other disabling diseases like Sickle Cell Amenia. Erin will also share many ways folks can support St. Jude’s mission to help kids facing serious illness survive and thrive!
