Thank you for joining St. Jude friends and supporters for the 11th annual St. Jude Courses and Cocktails presented by Supreme Staffing on August 8, 2026, in Memphis, Tennessee. Attendants indulged in upscale Southern fare from the talented Chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman while bidding on exclusive auction items. For an epic grand finale, attendants hit the dance floor and kept the celebration going with DJ AD, bringing the energy, the beats, and the perfect soundtrack to close out an unforgettable night.
All proceeds from this charity event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
