Thank you for joining us on February 27, 2025 for the 17th annual St. Jude Taste of Oxford, a regional culinary experience and charity gala in Oxford, Mississippi to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
This highly anticipated community event brought together St. Jude supporters from the Mississippi Delta, Northeast Mississippi and the Memphis area to enjoy the beauty of The Jefferson Oxford and the featured cuisines from local Oxford restaurants.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.
Matching gifts are an easy way to increase your donation to St. Jude — at no additional cost to you! Many employers support your altruistic efforts by offering matching gift programs to your favorite charities. Check if your employer will match your gift to St. Jude or contact us at matchinggifts@stjude.org.
For information on becoming a sponsor at next year's event, contact Lindsey Johnson at lindsey.johnson@alsac.stjude.org.
St. Jude patient Liliana and her family
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped push the U.S. childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%. Yet, around the world, about 1 in 5 will survive. That’s why we’re helping make lifesaving treatments available to more children in more places — because where they live shouldn’t determine if they live.
