Our Mission
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Most of my life, I have witnessed what cancer can do to a person. I have seen several of my own family members battle & pass from this awful disease. Growing up, it always broke my heart knowing that many kids had to go through the horrors of cancer. When I first heard about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, I immediately gained so much respect for them & for their mission.

St. Jude ensures that every family is comfortable and has everything they need. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude. And St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
✶
For several years I thought deeply about what I could do to help, and how I could do my part. And I finally decided to start this business, which combines both my passions & career aspirations, along with having the privilege to raise money for these amazing & strong children.

Here at The August Shop, we donate 10% of the product cost from each purchase to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. So every time you order from us, you are also helping to save a child's life.

We want to say a huge thank you to St. Jude for all they do, and for the many blessings they give to so many families. And if you would like to donate to them directly, please visit their website stjude.org :)
