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.

Every dollar makes a difference*

Make a donation today to help St. Jude kids and their families.

 
  1. One red blood cell transfusion

    Children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases often need transfusions.

    Donate $250

  2. One hour of physical therapy

    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.

    Donate $500

  3. 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.

    Donate $1,000

  4. An ultrasound study for a St. Jude patient

    An ultrasound study is among the diagnostic imaging tests that doctors use to diagnose and monitor disease and treatment.

    Donate $2,500

  5. Daily room rate of the ICU

    The Intensive Care Unit at St. Jude has twice been recognized with the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence given by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. In 2009, the St. Jude ICU became Tennessee’s first ICU to win the honor.

    Donate $5,000

  6. Support St. Jude patients and their families
