The theme is inspired by hospital founder Danny Thomas, who believed that together, nothing is impossible. He once said he would rather have 1 million people donate $1 to St. Jude, than one person donate $1 million to the hospital because “That way you've got a million people involved.”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, giving may look different for donors this year. However, a collection of small gifts can make a big difference. Originating from Thomas’ quote, this Texas-sized giving campaign has embraced his simple but profound idea. Because together, nothing is impossible.
Because of generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
St. Jude has worked hard to safeguard children from the dangers of infectious diseases since opening its doors nearly 60 years ago. No matter what the world is facing, cancer does not stop. With the community’s support, neither will St. Jude.
