Join us on Thursday, August 27, 2026, for the 14th annual St. Jude Gala presented by Cruisin' For St. Jude: Lisa's Ride at Saratoga National Golf Club in Saratoga Springs, New York. St. Jude supporters will come together to enjoy cocktails, dinner, live & silent auctions, a 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.
