In the words of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas: "No child should die in the dawn of life."
Windows USA's Recycling Program has donated over $1,000,000 ensuring that St. Jude Children's Research Hospital will continue its lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children. It costs $1.6 million a day to operate St. Jude, and public donations provide more than 70 percent of our funding.
How do these donations help?

Thanks to donations, St. Jude families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance, and no child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay.

Donations also help St. Jude cover other costs a family typically incurs while their child is being treated at the hospital, including travel, housing and food.
-
At St. Jude, donor dollars help fuel the groundbreaking research that leads to pioneering care and treatments for childhood cancer and other deadly diseases.
