Thank you, Omega Psi Phi, for supporting the kids of St. Jude
At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we have a legacy of doing what is right — not what is easy. From standing against segregation to launching one of the largest pediatric sickle cell programs in the country, every successful stride helps propel us forward. Join us as we work towards a new era of scientific discovery and healthcare equity. The fundraising efforts of Omega Psi Phi and the NPHC leads help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated is a proud supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through programs like the St. Jude Walk/Run, St. Jude marathons, and Omega Psi Phi's Power of Giving campaign. Members, affiliates, and friends of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity are invited to join in the fight against childhood cancer.
What is St. Jude?
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our researchers and doctors work together to turn laboratory breakthroughs into lifesaving treatments for children from across the United States and around the world. And with your support, St. Jude can provide cutting-edge treatments at no cost to families — so they can focus on helping their child live.
Our Mission
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
What does St. Jude do?
St. Jude is dedicated to treating kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In addition to patient treatment, St. Jude is focused on cutting-edge research to help us better understand pediatric cancer and how to treat it. Each day, we are working toward a cure, so every child who comes to us can be given their best chance to grow up.
Why support St. Jude?
- Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
- When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80% within the U.S., and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
- Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you help give kids with cancer around the world that chance. Together, we can save more lives.
