Join us for the 16th annual Syracuse for St. Jude Gala presented by The Magurie Foundation in Syracuse, NY, on Saturday, March 4, 2023 as we gather to support the livesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®

Enjoy an evening of live entertainment, cocktails, dinner, a silent auction, a Give to Live auction and an impactful Mission Moment, where you have the chance to hear stories from St. Jude patients. We'll also celebrate our Honoree Officer, Collin Hayward-Toland, and present an award in his namesake, the Officer Colin Hayward-Toland Award.
 
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.

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 50 years ago. And we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

This award was created by gala committee members to honor the legacy of Officer Colin Hayward-Toland. At age 2, Colin was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, a rare form of brain cancer, and began treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Colin believed that you should “never give up on your dreams."

In 2016, he was able to realize his own dream by being sworn in as an honorary member of the Ithaca Police Department.

On March 17, 2018, after an 8-year fight with cancer, Colin lost his battle. We remember Colin’s legacy with the Officer Colin Hayward-Toland Award, which recognizes a local community member who represents virtues similar to Colin’s spirit of tenacity, resilience and positivity.
