COOL HAND FRANK spotlights purpose-driven organizations working to make this world healthier, happier, and better.

“No child should die in the dawn of life.”

That simple goodhearted truth was expressed long ago by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital founder Danny Thomas. His sentiment feels especially meaningful during the holiday season.

St. Jude is the foremost nonprofit dedicated to eliminating cancer, blood infections, neurological disorders, and other life-threatening diseases in children. Since the organization’s inception in 1962, it has helped lift childhood cancer survival in the United States from 20% to 80%.

But that’s not enough — St. Jude continues aggressive research and development for cures and provides state-of-the-art treatment in its hospitals. Compassionately, the organization serves families around the world and from all walks of life payment-free so that their children remain the top priority.

There are a multitude of ways to help St. Jude’s righteous cause, including school fundraisers, sports and fitness fundraisers, and, of course, donations.

Let’s make this holiday season one of uplift for families in need.
