Join St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital September 25–26, 2026, as Viva St. Jude, presented by Michael Godard Fine Arts Associates, returns to Las Vegas. This year’s theme, All That Glitters— is a tribute to the brilliance of breakthroughs and the strength of every child we treat at St Jude. Each glittering moment represents progress, possibility, and the generosity that makes cures happen.
The weekend kicks off on Friday, September 25 with a 144-person golf scramble at The Arroyo Golf Club where golfers can enjoy breakfast, a Bloody Mary bar and lunch. That evening, attendees will try their luck in the Viva St. Jude poker tournament at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa for a chance to win prizes, including the grand prize of $10,000!
On Saturday, September 26, attendees will gather back together at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa for an exquisite evening of style, sophistication and philanthropy at the Taste of Viva St. Jude.
Viva St. Jude brings together business and community leaders who share a commitment to making a profound impact. By joining us, you will be part of a movement that ensures families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of something truly special. Hope shines the brightest when we come together.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
