Thank you for joining us on Friday, April 5, 2024 for the fourth annual St. Jude Give to Live Gala at Abigail Kirsch at The Loading Dock in Stamford, Connecticut. Guests enjoyed a memorable cocktail hour, exquisite dinner, drinks, live entertainment, auctions and special St. Jude moments alongside fellow supporters to help further advance the mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®

All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

For information on sponsorship or volunteer opportunities, please contact Lexi Brown at lexi.brown@alsac.stjude.org

Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer.

In many countries, however, only 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
