Join 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 honors 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. Let’s come together to honor these bright beginnings and continue fueling the lifesaving mission of St. Jude — so families everywhere can experience more reasons to celebrate.

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.

Ladies Fancywork Society

The Ladies Fancywork Society has been terrorizing your neighborhood with their garish yarn crimes since 2007. What began as a group of crochet-loving friends just chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school has transformed into a fiber arts hydra capable of putting together large-scale projects, international art shows and installations.

Also, we're fun at parties.

Waffle Cone Club

Kyle Vincent Singer was born in Tacoma, WA, but grew up in a southern suburb of Chicago called Oak Lawn. He graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters in Studio Art. Kyle received his MFA with a focus in drawing at Colorado State University. He spent a few years as an adjunct professor of drawing at CSU, while making art for the Regional Burning Man event as well as other community events. Kyle received the highest achievement in Visual and Performing Arts at CSU, was a collaborator for Case Study: Weld County, CO by International Artist David Brooks and Kyle’s largest permanent installation, the Sa Lawn, is at Meow Wolf Denver.

Kyle is interested in ideas of nostalgia and the various complexities of how individual existence and the collective unconscious intermingle to create shared spaces for exchange. Carried by a maximalist compulsion to create and to leave no space unfilled, Kyle’s practice embraces erratic versatility and explores concepts of his personal, public and private thoughts. The use of “throwaway materials” manipulated into art objects aims to challenge and disrupt the values of commercialism. Making art without the restraints of traditional practices or materials questions the mundane daily elements of life that we have grown accustomed to ignoring.
