The multiple Grammy award-winning group recently visited St. Jude and met with patients & families ahead of the April 30th Latin American holiday honoring children
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (April 30, 2026) — Latin music legends Los Tigres del Norte recently visited St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® for the first time, as part of the Music Gives to St. Jude Kids® initiative. The multiple Grammy Award-winning group toured the research hospital and learned about the work taking place at St. Jude. The band also spent time with patients and families, getting to know them through discussions of music and over a game of Lotería, a traditional Mexican game similar to bingo, which gave name to the band’s most recent critically praised album.
The visit showing how music and shared cultural traditions can offer comfort, connection, and hope during treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases that, the band widely known as ‘The Voice of the People,” were inspired to partner further with St Jude. As a result, and in celebration of El Dia del Niño (International Children’s Day) on April 30th, Los Tigres del Norte are encouraging fans and the wider Latino community to join them in the hospital’s Angeles de Esperanza (Partner in Hope) donor program. This monthly support helps St. Jude continue its mission so families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food - so they can focus on helping their child live.
“Our visit to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital deeply touched our hearts,” said Los Tigres del Norte. “To see children and families from around the world supported with compassion and dignity is a powerful reminder that no child should face cancer or other serious illnesses alone. We left inspired and for Día del Niño, we invite our community to join us as Angeles de Esperanza, giving hope, month after month, to children who deserve every chance at their best life.”
