Thank you for joining us Saturday, April 18, 2026, for the 11th annual St. Jude Songwriters Gala at Fremont Studios in Seattle, Washington. We came together for a memorable evening to support the livesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®
Guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, silent and live auctions and an impactful Mission Moment interwoven with an intimate performance of our featured artist's greatest hits.
All proceeds from this event benefit patient and patient families at St. Jude. 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 or volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Rebecca Wilson at rebecca.wilson@alsac.stjude.org.
