Thank you for attending the Colorado Unites for St. Jude Gala, hosted at the Denver Art Museum on Saturday, June 10, 2023.
This year's theme was deeply rooted in the arts, which are a very important part of a St. Jude patient's journey. Expression through art, be it painting, music or even the culinary arts, helps treat the whole patient, not just the disease or life-threatening illness with which they've been diagnosed. Effective creative outlets like these can help patients express their creativity, build coping skills, support physical rehabilitation and more.
Colorado Unites for St. Jude was an evening of hope and inspiration, and it showcased the art of many of our patients in various forms. All proceeds from this event help to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.

More stories on St. Jude and the arts:
Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
St. Jude cares for some of the world’s sickest children regardless of their race, ethnicity, beliefs, or ability to pay. Our patients receive the customized care they need to treat childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases, no matter what barriers they may face.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where more than 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many developing countries, however, fewer than 1 out of 5 children diagnosed with cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
