Thank you for attending the third annual St. Jude Give to Live Gala in Greenwich, Connecticut benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

All proceeds 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.
