Rick Shadyac Jr. led a near-quadrupling of annual revenue for ALSAC, the fundraising and organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He served as ALSAC’s sixth CEO since the organization’s founding in 1957, stewarding ALSAC through unprecedented growth.

As the largest healthcare charity in the world and the largest charity in the U.S. ranked by cash revenue (over $2.6 billion in fiscal year 2024), ALSAC employs more than 1,650 team members who operate from its headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, and 33 offices in seven territories across the country. ALSAC relies on some 12 million supporters who make donations or volunteer and support tens of thousands of fundraising activities annually to help support the mission of St. Jude: Finding cures.
