Thank you for joining us for the 18th annual St. Jude Night of Hope, Noche de Esperanza, Gala in Dallas, Texas. We kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the many ways the Hispanic community is supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
This impactful evening featured inspirational stories from St. Jude patients and supporters, a seated dinner, dancing, a unique auction and more!
All proceeds from this event 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 more information on becoming a sponsor at next year's event, contact Tabatha Gonzalez-Olaechea at tabatha.g.olaechea@alsac.stjude.org.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer. Together, we can save more lives.
