Thank you for joining us on Friday, October 9, 2026, for The 10th Annual St. Jude Harvest Moon, at The Warehouse on State where DJ Faith Rinker brought the beats all night long! The event included a live auction, raffles, heavy hors d’oeuvres and complimentary craft beer and wine.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.
For information on sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Danielle Easton at danielle.easton@alsac.stjude.org.

St. Jude stories from Central Illinois

Peoria Proud
You’d be hard-pressed to find a place more in step with St. Jude than the Illinois city behind the Memphis to Peoria Run. It started small — a handful of runners, a motorhome, a couple of vans and a crazy notion. Today, it's raised $56.2 million in its history.
