Supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Reflecting on a Year of Impact in 2025
Axes Gives Back: St. Jude
At Axes Physical Therapy, giving back is part of who we are. As a locally owned organization with 22 clinics throughout the Greater St. Louis area, we believe our responsibility to the community extends well beyond the clinic walls.
As we begin 2026, we are proud to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and take a moment to reflect on the meaningful impact our community made together throughout 2025.
Why St. Jude Matters
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is dedicated to advancing treatments and cures for pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus fully on their child’s care and recovery.
While St. Jude’s main campus is located in Memphis, its impact reaches communities nationwide, including right here in St. Louis. Local donors, healthcare partners, fundraisers, and supporters play an important role in advancing the research and patient care that happens every day.
At Axes, we work with patients navigating recovery, resilience, and hope. Supporting St. Jude aligns naturally with our belief that no family should face their hardest moments alone.

Looking Back: What We Accomplished Together in 2025
Before turning the page to a new year, we want to pause and say thank you.
In 2025, the Axes Physical Therapy Foundation distributed more than $26,000 in funds to 12 local charitable organizations through our monthly giving program. In addition to monetary donations, our clinics collected essential goods for organizations including Operation Food Search, KidSmart, Stray Rescue of St. Louis, and Toys for Tots.
We also supported our community in additional ways, including attending the Kids’ Chance of Missouri Golf Tournament and partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive that helped more than 39 people.
In 2025, we formed our first Pedal the Cause cycling team and raised $37,669 for cancer research. We continued that momentum by hosting our first-ever Pickle the Cause pickleball tournament, donating an additional $8,000 to cancer research in St. Louis. We were also honored to support the Children’s Heart Foundation with a $7,500 donation.
Together, these efforts brought our total donations for 2025 to more than $79,000!
None of this would be possible without the generosity of our staff, patients, referral partners, and the Greater St. Louis community. Your support, whether through participation, donations, or encouragement, is what makes this mission possible.
How We’re Kicking Off 2026
We’re honored to begin the year by supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through a monetary donation from the Axes Physical Therapy Foundation. As always, this contribution allows the organization to direct funds where they’re needed most—supporting research, patient care, and families facing unimaginable challenges.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue building momentum, strengthening partnerships, and finding new ways to support the communities we serve.
Thank You for Being Part of This
If you’ve ever donated, shared a post, dropped off goods, participated in an event, or simply encouraged our efforts—thank you. We’re incredibly grateful to walk this path alongside such a compassionate community.
Here’s to another year of showing up, giving back, and making a meaningful difference—together.
Because… helping you is what we do.
