At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, patients use beads to mark treatment milestones such as-
Losing their hair
Learning to take a new medicine
Changing a bandage
Blood transfusion
Lumbar puncture
Completing chemotherapy

St. Jude patient Tyler is proud of his legacy beads!

Did you know - rather than using wheelchairs for patients at St. Jude, they use little red wagons instead!

The approximate cost to supply the hospital with a red wagon is $100 - the same amount we ask participants to raise to get into the main event for Up 'til Dawn!

A very special day for all St. Jude patients is the day they no longer need to receive chemo treatment. The doctors and nurses throw a No Mo Chemo party with patients and their family to celebrate this milestone!!

Our patients have the cutest s-m-i-l-e
Our patients have the sweetest h-e-a-r-t
While we love to see you every day
Now’s the time we get to say
Pack up your bags, get out the door
YOU DON'T GET CHEMO ANYMORE!!

The daily operating cost of St. Jude is $2 MILLION per day and 75% of their funding comes from individual donations just like yours.

The participants of Up 'til Dawn are making a difference in the lives of patients at St. Jude!

The countdown is ON! Just 11 days until the big event!

If all our participants raise just $30 today, we would raise $2,000 for the kids of St. Jude in just ONE DAY!!
