Thank you for joining us on April 13, 2024 for the St. Jude Houston Gala charity event at The Revaire in Houston, Texas. St. Jude supporters came together to enjoy an evening of dinner and cocktails, live and silent auctions with one-of-a-kind experiences, live entertainment and inspiring stories of St. Jude patients and their families, all to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.® During the evening we also celebrated our 2024 Honoree, Academy Sports + Outdoors, as the Hope Award Recipient.
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.
For information on becoming a sponsor at next year's event, please contact Karla Wesley at karla.wesley@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.
