Thank you for joining St. Jude friends and supporters on April 1, 2026 for the 12th annual St. Jude Miracle on the Bayfront Gala at The White Room in beautiful downtown St. Augustine, Florida.
We came together and enjoyed a pre-event cocktail hour, dinner, live and silent auctions, live rooftop entertainment and dancing, all to further the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
