Thank you for joining us on Saturday, April 11, 2026, for the third annual St. Jude Oasis of Hope charity event at The Vault of Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona. This event brought together St. Jude supporters in the greater Phoenix area for a sensational evening that included dinner, cocktails, entertainment, live and silent auctions, Give to Live, a St. Jude patient speaker 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.
Matching gifts are an easy way to increase your donation to St. Jude — at no additional cost to you! Many employers support your altruistic efforts by offering matching gift programs to your favorite charities. Check if your employer will match your gift to St. Jude or contact us at matchinggifts@stjude.org.
For information on sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Julie Tritschler at julie.tritschler@alsac.stjude.org.
