Thank you for joining us for the eighth edition of the St. Jude Hope and Heritage Gala in New York City on April 13, 2024.
The St. Jude Hope and Heritage Gala celebrates the contributions and culture of the Middle Eastern community. Guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, a live auction, Give to Live, dancing and more to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
We remain ever committed to the promise we’ve made to the thousands of families who depend on us. Thank you for partnering with us in that lifesaving mission.
To learn more about next year's event, sponsorship or volunteer opportunities, contact Lizzette Dorado at lizzette.dorado@alsac.stjude.org.
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many countries, however, 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
