St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital returns for their second consecutive year as partners of the Dove Cares Red Carpet. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened 50 years ago, and St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade.

The hospital freely shares the breakthroughs it makes, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

“Last year’s addition of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to the Dove Cares Red Carpet experience made a lasting impression on the participating artists,” says GMA President and Executive Director Jackie Patillo. “Their presence brings an incredible energy and fresh perspective to what we all have to celebrate.”
