American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC) has been the exclusive fund-raising organization of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since 1957. ALSAC is the third largest healthcare related charity in the United States. The charity's National Executive Office is located in Memphis, Tennessee, across the street from the hospital itself.

St. Jude requires more than $1 million (American) each day to operate, the majority of which comes from public contributions to ALSAC. ALSAC currently raises more than $500 million annually for the hospital through its more than 30,000 fund-raising activities.
