Thank you for joining us on Saturday, April 11, 2026, for an unforgettable evening at the Colorado Unites for St. Jude Gala presented by Lincoln Motor Company — a celebration of courage, progress and the many joyful milestones made possible by the lifesaving work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. This year’s gala honored the powerful moments that define a child’s journey — from birthdays and graduations to the completion of treatment. These milestones are more than personal victories; they are symbols of hope, resilience, and the impact of a community united in purpose.

At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, every breakthrough brings hope — and every milestone is worth celebrating. Even in the face of challenges, these joyful moments are made possible by the unwavering support of people like you. For children, each milestone marks a powerful chapter in their journey. 

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our purpose is clear: Find cures. Saving children. Challenges are conquered and milestones are reached every day at St. Jude due to the incredible work of staff, ambitious goals for the future and the strength of St. Jude patients. Let's celebrate the beautiful milestones of St. Jude patients together.

For information on sponsorship or volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Janine Jackson at janine.jackson@alsac.stjude.org.

Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
