Join us for a night of shopping, food sampling, drinks and a "Gifts That Give" event during the inaugural Cirque de Beaute, sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue Troy and Fashion X Philanthropy to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This is a family-friendly event, and activities will be provided for children. Your contributions will help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
