Thank you for joining us on Thursday, April 16, for the 21st annual St. Jude Discover the Dream charity event at the Hilton Columbus Downtown in Columbus, Ohio. Donors from Central Ohio and beyond gathered to enjoy cocktails, dinner, inspirational guest speakers and auctions in support of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
All proceeds from this 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.
Matching gifts are an easy way to increase your donation to St. Jude — at no additional cost to you! Many employers support your altruistic efforts by offering matching gift programs to your favorite charities. Check if your employer will match your gift to St. Jude or contact us at matchinggifts@stjude.org.
For information on becoming a sponsor at next year's event, please contact Lindsay Jindra at lindsay.jindra@alsac.stjude.org.
