Thank you for joining us on May 9, 2026 for the St. Jude Celebrity Chef and Wine Dinner at The Revelry North End in Charlotte, North Carolina. This year's theme was Light of Hope, and we came together to enjoy a festive evening of celebrity chef stations and elegant dining, live and silent auctions, entertainment and dancing, and signature cocktails, all to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
