I just read the posts above. It is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It is a not-for-profit, section 501 (c)(3) corporation. They are seeking donations via telephone calls from a call center that only generates outgoing calls. Therefore, you are not able to dial back the number and receive a response. They are quite a credible organization. It is a large facility located in Memphis, TN, and they raise money in order to accommodate those families who are not able to pay for services, which can be quite costly. No child is ever turned away for lack of insurance or insufficient funds. They help children with many illnesses, cancer being one of them, as well as Juvenile Diabetes and a host of others. If you aren't interested in receiving the calls, log on to www.stjude.org to become familiar and learn how you can donate. From the "donate now" page, you can call the 800 number, or email them to cease receiving these calls. It is very worthwhile to visit this page to learn about their patients and how your donation can help. You can even give in memory of a loved one. Please consider visiting their website. Thank you, and God bless!
