The annual St. Jude Detroit Gala will be hosted at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation on Saturday, January 25, 2025.

The St. Jude Detroit Gala will showcase the stories of founding ALSAC members, donors, patients, St. Jude historic milestones and more. Guests will experience interactive and inspirational displays that will bring the mission and stories of St. Jude to life.

As our guest, you will help us celebrate Detroit's connection to the founding of St. Jude, learn about our advancements since 1962 and honor our strong community of supporters tied to the history of St. Jude.

We hope you’ll join us for this can’t-miss event, as your support helps 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.
