Welcome to St. Jude's Up Til' Dawn 2008
About St. Jude:

    St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly.

    St. Jude researchers are published and cited more often in high impact publications than any other private pediatric oncology research institution in America. St. Jude is a place where many doctors send some of their sickest patients and toughest cases. A place where cutting-edge research and revolutionary discoveries happen every day. We've built America's second-largest health-care charity so the science never stops.

All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay.

  Help fight cancer by staying Up 'til Dawn

  Eight hours of sleep is what we are supposed to get. But for many folks – especially that raucous group known as college students eight hours of sleep is a tale of mythology. So in 1998, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital looked to harness the energy that seems to power college students and have them direct it toward supporting research against pediatric cancer.

  Starting in St. Jude's own backyard at the University of Memphis, Up 'til Dawn continues to grow into a powerful fund-raising program that offers college students a chance to help raise funds and awareness for St. Jude.

  Though called Up 'til Dawn, the program itself usually takes place over an entire semester during which a number of student-run philanthropic events can take place. It culminates into the final night, where all participants gather to celebrate their accomplishments for the children. And yes,sometimes those celebrations can keep them up 'til dawn. Students stay awake in honor of the patients and families that endure so many sleepless nights at St.Jude. The students' motto is "cancer doesn't sleep, so neither should we."
