To learn about all the makers and brands:

The Makers for St. Jude idea came from Mike of Bur Oak Woodworking who is a 53-year childhood cancer survivor that has raised over $34,000 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
