Since its founding by Danny Thomas in 1962, St. Jude leads the world in caring, treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No child is denied treatment by St. Jude based on a family's ability to pay.

“Hope is not something one can place a value on – but without hope . . . value is meaningless!” stated Nick A. Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “St. Jude delivers miracles – and hope – to children around the world – each and every day!  National Beverage pledges our unconditional support to these deserving children and their grateful families – and we implore all to join us in our treasured responsibility of providing a hope-filled ‘future’ to the children of St. Jude.  To witness the pioneering research and precious lives St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has saved these past decades . . .  is the most rewarding holiday gift of all,” concluded Caporella.
