Help families focus on what matters most.

When Marina was diagnosed with eye cancer, her parents were focused on one thing — saving their affectionate and playful daughter. When you give to St. Jude, you’re helping ensure that families like Marina’s will never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. For Marina’s family, that means protecting “the baby of the family,” a girl her mom calls “spoiled—but in a good way.”

Million Dollar Vegan is a global nonprofit dedicated to educating people about the environmental, ethical, personal and public health benefits of adopting a plant-based lifestyle. They provide free nutritional guidance and support for people who are new to veganism, and free plant-based meals to essential workers and underserved communities around the world operating in over 10 countries and seven languages. And, have an international team working around the clock to inspire more people to choose vegan. In 2019 and with the support of Sir Paul McCartney, Million Dollar Vegan launched the first campaign by publicly challenging Pope Francis to #FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE WITH DIET CHANGE by going vegan for Lent in return for a $1M donation to the charity of this choice (His Holiness responded with his blessing). Naomi Hallum, CEO, took a few moments out of her busy schedule to chat.
