St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^® is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened its doors on February 4, 1962 and since then has made incredible strides in childhood cancer research. In fact, St. Jude has helped improve the survival rate of childhood cancer in the United States from 20% to 80%. And ALL (Acute lymphocytic leukemia), the disease with a virtual death sentence in 1962, now has a survival rate of 94%.

Today, St. Jude is a world leader in developing new, improved treatments for children with cancer and creates more clinical trials for cancer than any other children’s hospital.

Through the creation of online programs, such as St. Jude Cloud and St. Jude Cure4Kids St. Jude shares its breakthroughs, improving the quality of life, care and treatment for even more children around the world.

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.

Since the start of our partnership, the Marcum Foundation has raised over 1.9 million dollars  towards the mission of St. Jude. Join us in supporting this lifesaving cause by visiting stjude.org.

American Heart Association: Kids Heart Challenge

wwww.Heart.org

The American Heart Association (AHA) has grown into the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. A shared focus on cardiovascular health unites our more than 35 million volunteers and supporters as well as our more than 2,900 employees. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life. We want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

AHA has an initiative called the Kids Heart Challenge, a service-learning program that gives elementary students the opportunity to feel good, while doing good. It’s a way for students to better their life all while changing someone else’s. We know the physical and mental well-being of our school communities is vital to success.

Kids Heart Challenge educates students, staff, and families through interactive technologies and accessible activities to learn about heart, brain, and social & emotional health. Every student deserves the opportunity to thrive, and our support of Kids Heart Challenge is creating and empowering an equitable future.

With more than 90 years of saving lives, AHA will continue paving the way in the fight against heart disease and stroke.

Children of Fallen Patriots

www.fallenpatriots.org

The mission of Children of Fallen Patriots is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. We are dedicated to serving the families of servicemembers from all branches of the armed forces who have died as a result of combat casualties, military training accidents, service-related illnesses, suicide, as well as other duty-related deaths as ruled by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The vision of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation is to ensure that every child of a fallen patriot receives all necessary college funding. We believe a college education is the single most important gift we can give these children. An education is the most important investment in the future of America, and we believe the work we do is one of the best ways we can honor those who died defending our country.
