Thank you for joining us on October 5, 2023 for the fifth annual St. Jude Spirit of Hope, the commercial real estate industry's most lively networking and charity event in New York City. We enjoyed a memorable evening filled with samplings from New York City’s best cuisine, craft spirits, live music and special St. Jude moments alongside fellow supporters to help further advance the mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.

All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude.

Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

For additional questions on ticketing, sponsorships or volunteer opportunities for next year's event, connect with Shautae Thompson at shautae.thompson@alsac.stjude.org.

We share the breakthroughs we make.

Every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

Our global impact

Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 60 years ago.

Despite that progress, four in five children with cancer in low- and middle-income countries will not survive.

The emphasis on the global impact of St. Jude is critical to saving children. We won't stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.

Every dollar makes a difference*

 
  1. Platelet count for a St. Jude patient

    Platelet counts are among the tests that doctors use to monitor patient health during treatment.

  2. One red wagon

    Wagons are the preferred mode of travel through the halls of the hospital and around campus for our younger patients.

  3. One red blood cell transfusion

    Children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases often need transfusions.

  5. Parent necessities for 20 patient families

    Parents who bring their children to St. Jude often leave home in a hurry and forget to pack day-to-day necessities such as shampoos, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and lotion. At Tri Delta Place, our short-term housing facility, parents can obtain these essentials free of charge.

    Donate $1,000
