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 goal of this project is to get makers and brands to join us to raise money and help get the childhood cancer survival rate to 100%. We raised $11,000 in 2023, $40,000 in 2024, and our goal for 2025 is to raise $50,000, which would put us over $100,000 in our first 3 years! To learn more about the project and download our logo:

To learn about all the makers and brands:

The Makers for St. Jude idea came from Woodworker vs. Cancer who is a 52-year childhood cancer survivor that has raised over $30,000 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. That's when he decided to get other makers involved, and started working on Makers for St. Jude.

St. Jude patient Mia

Mia's dream is to be a princess when she grows up. And like her favorite princess, Snow White, she is cheerful and friendly, always showing affection to those around her.

One day, after running and playing in the park, Mia had some unusual cramps in her leg. The cause was neurological; Mia had a cancerous brain tumor called anaplastic ependymoma.

Mia steals the heart of everyone who meets her. She leaves her mark wherever she goes; she always leaves that love for others. She's a treasure.

St. Jude has given us everything. The flight from Nicaragua, our meals, housing, medicine, treatment, everything we need. We haven’t had to pay for a thing. It's a dream come true.

Mia's mom, Valentina
