What we do

Support that meets families where they are.

Cancer takes a toll far beyond the hospital room. We step in across the moments that matter most.

Emotional Care

Donnie personally visits young patients and families, sharing his own survivor journey to bring encouragement and hope to those in treatment.

Financial Relief

Cancer is more than a physical battle — it's a financial one. We help ease the cost burden so families can focus on what matters: getting well.

Awareness & Advocacy

From the racetrack to the community, we raise awareness for childhood cancer and stand alongside partners working toward a cure.

Donnie's Story

A survivor, turning hardship into hope.

Donnie Neuenberger is a seasoned NASCAR veteran, a Maryland native — and a cancer survivor. Having faced the disease firsthand, he knows how difficult it is to manage not only the physical and emotional weight of cancer, but the financial strain it places on a family.

That experience became his calling. The Donnie Neuenberger Foundation formalizes his ongoing commitment to families and children affected by cancer, providing educational and financial resources to those who need them most.

To Donnie, it's one thing to have a foundation — but nothing compares to having lived the experience yourself, and using it to truly understand how to help others.

"I'm living proof that if you're willing to sacrifice everything and never give up… you can."

A Letter from Ike Anand

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital · ALSAC

Dear Donnie Neuenberger Foundation,

Over the past few months, I've had the privilege of stepping into my role as President and CEO of ALSAC. It has been an extraordinary journey — one filled with purpose, gratitude and a renewed commitment to the dream that no child should die in the dawn of life.

Together with St. Jude, we've taken important steps forward — both on our campus and with partners around the globe. The impact on families everywhere is a testament to your generosity and unwavering compassion.

One milestone I'm especially proud of is the work of St. Jude and the World Health Organization on the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines. In February, the first deliveries of quality-assured cancer medicines began in Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Ecuador, Nepal and Zambia, with Jordan following. Building on lessons from that rollout, a second wave is now onboarding: El Salvador, Ghana, Moldova, Pakistan, Senegal and Sri Lanka.

These efforts are part of a multi-year plan to reach more than 120,000 children around the world with lifesaving medicines and help raise global childhood cancer survival to 60 percent by 2030.

Last month, I had the honor of joining global leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, where St. Jude co-hosted an event focused on improving survival and reducing suffering for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases — spotlighting bold, multinational leadership, collaboration and innovation.

As I reflect on these milestones, one thing is clear: you make this momentum possible. Your generosity makes every breakthrough possible. Together, we are not only saving lives today but shaping a future where every child — no matter where they live — has a chance to grow up.

Thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude,

Ike Anand
