Join us on Thursday, August 20, 2026, for the inaugural Pittsburgh St. Jude Golf Tournament at Laurel Valley Golf Club in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. This charity golf tournament brings together donors, professionals and corporate sponsors in the Pittsburgh area to raise funds and awareness for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude, 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 sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at this year's event, contact Jamie Rhoades at jamie.rhoades@alsac.stjude.org.
