Celebration at Sundown for St. Jude

Thank you for joining us on February 22, 2025 for the sixth annual Celebration at Sundown charity gala presented by Elevate Protection Group at the Omni Forth Worth Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas.

This impactful dinner event brought together the Fort Worth community to celebrate the everyday joys and childhood milestones that many of us take for granted each day while raising funds for the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®

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 Tabatha G. Olaechea at tabatha.g.olaechea@alsac.stjude.org.

Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
