The brothers and sisters of St. Jude patients were recognized for their all-star efforts during the annual Sibling Star Day event at the hospital. The St. Jude Child Life Program hosted a sports-themed day of activities for siblings, ages 4 to 19.
Siblings decorated and personalized sports pennants, waving them proudly during a red-carpet walk from the front entrance of the hospital to the Danny Thomas/ALSAC Pavilion. Employees and volunteers lined the route, cheering and applauding the honorees.
The siblings and their families attended a luncheon and recognition ceremony where they received medals to honor their contributions as part of the patient care team.
