Thank you for joining us on Saturday, March 16, 2024 to celebrate our 25th anniversary of St. Jude Fitness for a Cure at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, Massachusetts. With your help, we were able to raise over $805,000 for the kids and families of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The daytime show featured entertainment from the St. Jude Performance Team, a raffle and family-friendly activities. The evening gala featured a live and silent auction, dinner, entertainment from the St. Jude Performance Team and an impactful St. Jude program, all with the united purpose of supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®

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.
