Why the Sun Run?
Benefiting the Devoted Fund, the Sun Run is more than just one day of walking/running. It’s a season during which the entire community is encouraged to come together through fundraising, health and wellness - for children and families of SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. Over the last 70 years, we have proudly served more than 10 million children in need from the bi-state region of Missouri and Illinois and beyond. Our devotion has never been stronger, and the need has never been greater.
With the support of our community, we are shaping a new home for pediatric care — one designed for the future of medicine, comfort, innovation, and compassion. This effort is more than a facility. It’s the continuation of a promise we’ve kept since our beginning—and one we’re devoted to keeping: Exceptional care for every child. No matter who they are, where they’re from, or their family’s circumstances.
