Thank you for joining us on Saturday, June 15, 2024 for the Colorado Unites for St. Jude Gala at the Denver Botanic Gardens in Denver, Colorado. This annual benefit event is brought to you by, and supported by, the strong and passionate Colorado and greater Rocky Mountain states community, a community that has supported St. Jude for many years. This year's locale, the Denver Botanic Gardens, provided a picturesque backdrop to celebrate the St. Jude mission, its global impact and you, our supporters. Together we raised $575,000 for our lifesaving mission!
Our founder, Danny Thomas, envisioned and built St. Jude as a place of healing for children fighting pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases. For those children and their families, St. Jude is a home away from home. St. Jude has been very intentional about the spaces and experiences created for patients and their families, from beautiful gardens and reflective spaces like the Hope Garden and the Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden to Kay Kafe, where all families, clinicians and staff members come together to share a nourishing meal. These spaces not only provide respite to our families, but also a sanctuary and a community, something we all need when experiencing life's toughest moments.
This year we honored Grace and Ron Covington, our Colorado Springs St. Jude Dream Home Builder Partner, for their longtime dedication to our mission. The event was an inspiring and immersive experience to support the mission of St. Jude. Thank you for joining us on this special evening as we came together to find cures and save children because St. Jude won't stop until no child - anywhere - dies from cancer.
For information on sponsorship or volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Janine Jackson at janine.jackson@alsac.stjude.org.
St. Jude provides comprehensive care and health equality for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. We tailor treatment for each child's unique needs, improving outcomes for some of the world’s sickest children.
