These simple acts of kindness have a huge impact on the future of research and treatment for children with cancer in the United States and around the world.”

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped increase the overall survival rate from 20% to over 80% today. With Entergy's support, St. Jude can continue to provide children with state-of-the-art treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.
