Its purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.® It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

St. Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

Because of generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

KD Construction of Florida Sponsors Celebration of Historic Inspiration4 Launch in Support of St. Jude

On September 15, 2021, Inspiration4 launched into space, becoming the world’s first all-civilian mission to orbit. Inspiration4 was named in recognition of the four-person crew and its mission to inspire support for the lifesaving work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Each crew member represented one of the mission’s pillars: Leadership, Hope, Generosity, and Prosperity. The mission was commanded by Jared Isaacman (Leadership), the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments.

Joining Mr. Isaacman were Hayley Arceneaux (Hope), a physician assistant at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and former St. Jude patient, Chris Sembroski (Generosity), a data engineer and Air Force veteran, and Dr. Sian Proctor (Prosperity), an entrepreneur, geoscientist, explorer, and artist.

Why St. Jude?

More than half a century ago, entertainer Danny Thomas envisioned a hospital that would care for children regardless of race, color, creed, or their family’s ability to pay.

He recognized that scientific research and discovery would create the foundation to help treat children facing catastrophic diseases. Since St. Jude opened its doors on February 4, 1962, it has become one of the world’s premier pediatric research institutions. Explore the scientific milestones that have marked our progress from that day to now.

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 founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.
