A Partnership in Inspiring Love

Since 1999, Signet Jewelers and our customers have stood alongside St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in its mission: Finding cures. Saving children.® Since 1999, our team members and customers have raised more than $122 million to help make cures possible for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

At Signet, Inspiring Love means using our reach to help make the world a better place — especially for those who need it most. Across Kay Jewelers, Zales, Jared and Banter by Piercing Pagoda, that shared purpose is why our partnership with St. Jude continues to matter, and why it continues to grow.

A record-breaking year

In 2025, Signet raised a record $12 million for St. Jude — the largest single-year fundraising total in our history and the largest one-time donation we have made to the organization. These funds were raised through everyday generosity repeated across the business — customers giving at the register and online, the sale of plush puppies and bears, team member leadership in our stores and support centers, and corporate and event-based support of St. Jude initiatives such as the St. Jude Walk/Run.

“Our record-breaking $12 million donation shows what’s possible when our purpose of Inspiring Love comes to life through our team members and our customers. Together, we’re helping St. Jude continue its mission, Finding cures. Saving children.” Signet Jewelers CEO, J.K. Symancyk

Our $100 million commitment: helping survivors thrive

In 2023, Signet surpassed $100 million raised for St. Jude and announced a new $100 million commitment to further advance research and treatment — to increase survivorship in the U.S. and around the world, where survival rates are much lower, and to help survivors thrive.

That commitment supports two programs at the heart of childhood cancer survivorship:

The After Completion of Therapy (ACT) Clinic

The After Completion of Therapy (ACT) Clinic sees more than 1,700 long-term survivors of childhood cancer each year, including patients followed until age 18 or 10 years from diagnosis, whichever comes later. Founded in 1984, it is the world’s largest clinic following childhood cancer survivors.

St. Jude LIFE

St. Jude LIFE is a cohort study of childhood cancer survivors with more than 6,800 participants who return to St. Jude every five years so researchers can study the long-term effects of treatment.

Together, these initiatives aim to reduce the long-term effects of childhood cancer treatment while offering follow-up care and health counseling — improving quality of life for children and families long after treatment ends.

Signet across the St. Jude campus

Signet Jewelers can be seen and felt throughout the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee — supporting patients from the moment they arrive through treatment, care and survivorship:

  • Treatment — Children with solid tumors are cared for by the team at the St. Jude Solid Tumor Clinic presented by Signet Jewelers.
  • Care — The Patient Care Center Second Floor presented by Signet Jewelers, now part of the St. Jude Family Commons, gives patients and families a place to relax and gather between appointments.
  • Collaboration — The Kay Research & Care Center, a six-story tower in the heart of campus, is ushering in a new era of research, education, collaboration, care and treatment.
  • Comfort — Patients, families, physicians and scientists gather for meals as one family at the Kay Kafe.

Join Us in Supporting St. Jude

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered largely incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall U.S. childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% — and it won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. Because of generous partners and donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
