St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Target House

Founded in 1962 by late entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., is the largest center in the United States for the treatment and research of pediatric cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases.  The unique hospital, which shares its treatment procedures upon request with other hospitals for free, has increased childhood cancer survival rates from 20 to 70 percent overall.
 
Funded by Target Stores and its vendor and celebrity partners, Target House is a home away from home for families with children receiving life-saving treatment at St. Jude Children’s Hospital.  As an extension of St. Jude’s commitment to care for any child regardless of the family’s ability to pay, Target House provides residents the privacy of a furnished two-bedroom apartment, free of charge.
 
Since 1997, Target Chip Ganassi Racing (TCGR) has raised more than $500,000 for St. Jude Children's Hospital and Target House by donating $5,000 for each victory, $1,000 for each pole position and $25 for each lap led.
