Join us December 12, 2023 for the St. Jude Houston Christmas Luncheon at the Junior League of Houston. Come and enjoy a festive afternoon including a three-course meal, champagne toast and inspiring stories of St. Jude patients and their families, all to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
All proceeds from this event will 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.

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered largely incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
