The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
Since we opened in 1962, our mission has been to find cures for kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, regardless of race, ethnicity, beliefs or a family’s ability to pay.

In the years ahead, an estimated 89% of the funds necessary to sustain and grow St. Jude must be raised from generous donors. This is why supporters are so important in fulfilling the promise of St. Judefounder Danny Thomas, who believed that "no child should die in the dawn of life."

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

The mission of Jeeps for Heroes is to donate refurbished jeeps or similar off-road vehicles to veterans and first responders who have made the sacrifice to protect our freedom and are adjusting to civilian life while battling the effects of PTSD.

Our goal is to also provide these veterans with a sense of community by welcoming them into the off-road community.
 

Jeepin for a cure is a group that plans jeep events to raise money to help families battling breast cancer. Their charity of choice is the Breast Cancer Foundation Of The Ozarks.

Across the country, the need for a wide variety of mental health services has skyrocketed. Upstate New York is no different. We must address mental health issues in children early on and provide the spectrum of care for children when and where they need us. An immediate access walk-in center will provide emergency assessments and interventions, community-wide coordination of youth family crisis services, and the development of innovative best practices for crisis intervention. Help us do more to meet the need in our communities.

Our programs prioritize safety without compromising the thrill and excitement that offroading provides. We collaborate with experienced offroad instructors and mental health professionals who have a deep understanding of the unique traumas faced by veterans. Through this multidisciplinary approach, we ensure that participants can address their individual needs while simultaneously engrossing themselves in nature's wonders.
