Join us on April 18, 2026, for the St. Jude Houston Gala charity event at The Revaire in Houston, Texas. St. Jude supporters will come together to enjoy an evening of dinner and cocktails, live and silent auctions with one-of-a-kind experiences, live entertainment and inspiring stories of St. Jude patients and their families, all to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
This year’s theme Imagine Beyond Possibility celebrates the boundless spirit of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. Where discoveries once thought impossible become reality and children's dream of a future come closer within reach. This theme reflects the extraordinary journey of hope and innovation that pushes beyond today's limits to create tomorrow's cures. Together, we honor the vision of St. Jude by going beyond possibility - because our purpose is clear: No child should die in the dawn of life.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
