St. Jude patient Kaleb with his family
Join us on September 20, 2025, for the 10th annual St. Jude Spirit of the Dream at The Domino's Event Center on the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee. Guests will celebrate the achievements of African Americans who have made significant contributions to Memphis and beyond while embodying the spirit of the St. Jude mission. This special evening will feature live entertainment, exclusive auction packages, and the presentation of the Spirit of the Dream awards.
September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, making this celebration especially meaningful as we honor the legacy and ongoing work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in advancing care and research for children with sickle cell disease.
All proceeds benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
St. Jude cares for some of the world’s sickest children regardless of their race, ethnicity, beliefs, or ability to pay. Our patients receive the customized care they need to treat childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases, no matter what barriers they may face.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where more than 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many developing countries, however, fewer than 1 out of 5 children diagnosed with cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
