How YOU Can Help Fight Childhood Cancer at the St. Jude Radiothon

Music Gives: Join Our 2025 St. Jude Radiothon

Did you know a single cancer treatment, on average, costs $425,000?
Our annual St. Jude Radiothon is officially underway, and this year’s theme, “Music Gives,” reminds us why we do this every single year. Every song, every story, and every donation helps children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
At St. Jude, families never receive a bill.

  • Not for treatment.
  • Not for travel.
  • Not for housing.
  • Not for food.

That means parents can focus on what truly matters: being there for their child.
It costs $2.8 million every single day to operate St. Jude, and that only works because of donors like you. Thanks to research funded by generosity, childhood cancer survival rates have risen from 20% in 1962 to more than 80% today. And St. Jude won’t stop until it reaches 100%.
