Thank you for joining us for the St. Jude Evening of Hope Gala, a memorable evening of music, dining and fun that brought together local leaders in business, philanthropy and culture in celebration of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®
This elegant affair featured an inspirational St. Jude program, an elevated culinary experience and spectacular live entertainment at the newly renovated and standout Fairmont Century Plaza.
With your support, St. Jude continues to lead the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Thank you for helping us continue St. Jude founder Danny Thomas' dream: "No child should die in the dawn of life."
All proceeds from this event benefit the kids of St. Jude. Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
For information about sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at our next event, please contact Cameryn Kaylor at cameryn.kaylor@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.

One red blood cell transfusion

Physical therapy is provided to patients because children with life-threatening diseases like cancer may develop developmental, cognitive or physical impairments as a result of their illnesses and their treatments.

Parent necessities for 20 patient families
Parents who bring their children to St. Jude often leave home in a hurry and forget to pack day-to-day necessities such as shampoos, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and lotion. At Tri Delta Place, our short-term housing facility, parents can obtain these essentials free of charge.
