You can carry on Danny Thomas's dream of fighting childhood cancer by becoming a Partner in Hope for St Jude Children's Research Hospital!

Actor Danny Thomas founded St Jude Children's Research Hospital on February 4, 1962. Find out what inspired him to be a goodwill ambassador to kids with cancer!

The St Jude Dream Home will be given away Sunday afternoon during a live television event on KATC TV 3 beginning at Noon. There are a limited number of tickets left, make sure you have secured yours before Sunday's giveaway.

We pose the question "why St. Jude?" not to ask "why CHOOSE St. Jude hospital?" Rather, we ask the question to help you understand, in case you don't already know, why is it called St. Jude, as in St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Every Acadiana Catholic will really appreciate the story behind the hospital and its name...
