Thank you for joining us on Thursday, August 29, 2024 for the 12th annual St. Jude Gala at the Saratoga National Golf Club in Saratoga Springs, New York. St. Jude supporters came together to enjoy a seated dinner, live auction, Give to Live auction and a special message from a St. Jude patient family highlighting the importance of your support in the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®

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.

All funds 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 next year's event, please contact Elise Penge at elise.penge@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.
