'Relay FM' Podcast Network Launches Annual Fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. To support this important cause, well-known podcast network Relay FM has launched its annual fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee. Since 2019, the Relay FM community has raised nearly $3 million for the hospital.

Relay St Jude 2024 Large
St. Jude's mission statement is that no child is denied treatment:

The mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

Relay FM has multiple Apple-related podcasts, such as Connected, hosted by Stephen Hackett, Myke Hurley, and Federico Viticci. Hackett's son received treatment at St. Jude as an infant, so this initiative is near and dear to him and his family.

Donations can be made on the Relay FM for St. Jude website, with rewards such as Relay FM stickers, wallpapers, and a macOS screensaver available above certain dollar amounts. The page outlines other ways you can get involved, such as starting your own fundraising campaign, and sharing the page also greatly helps.

I wish people would donate to any number of other worthy causes and institutions rather than further pad the bank account of this one organization, which currently has over $8 billion in reserves.
Look, I get that you mean well. But what you're saying will just keep people from donating.

People who can afford to donate now will literally stop, and say: I should research those other charities instead. Maybe they actually will, but most likely they'll just forget about it. You're just giving them a convenient excuse for not donating. The list you linked is behind a paywall, too. There goes the momentum …

In reality, many people here (who presumably buy Apple products regularly) could easily donate to St. Jude's and still find other charities to donate to later.

Oh yeah? And what other causes would those be? I'm sure we can find reasons to ? on them as well if we look hard enough.
I mean, one doesn't have to look hard to find support for what I said. St. Jude certainly does good work, but they also have plenty of money (far too much for a nonprofit, actually). By its own estimation, St. Jude could comfortably run for the next 5 years without a single additional penny of funding.

There are literally tens of thousands of lesser-known, equally-worthwhile causes that are in actual need of donations. Here ('https://archive.ph/qvlzz') is a good article about other children's cancer charities, but a quick Google search will reveal no end of additional options.
