Welcome to Makers for St. Jude

Makers and brands uniting to raise money for childhood cancer

Thank you for visiting Makers for St. Jude which was launched in January of 2023. The idea came from Woodworker vs. Cancer who is a 52-year childhood cancer survivor that has raised over $27,000 for cancer since 2022. St. Jude sent a film crew to his shop to talk about his childhood cancer story and how he is using his woodworking hobby to raise money for St. Jude. The goal of this project is to get more makers and brands to join us to raise money and help get the childhood cancer survival rate to 100%.

Thanks to Sawdust Talk, SurfPrep Sanding, and Onefinity CNC for partnering with us!

St. Jude patient Grit

Grit’s family began their journey with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital when he was diagnosed with cancer in December 2017. In April 2023, after 1,922 days of chemotherapy, Grit officially finished treatment. As Grit says, he no longer needs his “hulk juice.”

“Grit is thriving,” his dad Nolan said. When asked about St. Jude, Nolan says, “There’s just no greater cause. Helping kids survive and live long, fulfilling lives so they can go on to live out the St. Jude legacy and then pay it forward themselves.”
