Thank you for participating in the second annual St. Jude Presents: The Big Raise, sponsored by American Guardian Warranty Services.

This two-day event, held February 26 – 27, 2023, takes place in Kissimmee, Florida, on the beautiful grounds of Reunion Resort and Golf Club. Sunday evening features a night of cocktails, dinner, both live and silent auctions and an inspiring St. Jude Mission Moment. Monday is highlighted by a breakfast of champions and an exciting 18 holes of golf.

This event supports the livesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so families can focus on helping their child live.

To learn more about next year's event or volunteer opportunities, contact Cedric Williams at cedric.williams@alsac.stjude.org.

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.

Every dollar makes a difference*

 
  1. One red wagon

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

    Donate $100

  2. One red blood cell transfusion

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

    Donate $250

  3. One hour of physical therapy

    Physical therapy is provided to patients because children with life-threatening diseases like cancer may develop developmental, cognitive or physical impairments as a result of their illnesses and their treatments.

    Donate $500

  4. 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

  5. An ultrasound study for a St. Jude patient

    An ultrasound study is among the diagnostic imaging tests that doctors use to diagnose and monitor disease and treatment.

    Donate $2,500

  6. Daily room rate of the ICU

    The Intensive Care Unit at St. Jude has twice been recognized with the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence given by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. In 2009, the St. Jude ICU became Tennessee’s first ICU to win the honor.

    Donate $5,000
