Join us on Saturday, May 9, 2026, for an unforgettable evening at the St. Jude Evening of Hope Gala — a celebration of courage, progress and the many joyful milestones made possible by the lifesaving work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. This year’s gala honors the powerful moments that define a child’s journey — from birthdays and graduations to the completion of treatment. These milestones are more than personal victories; they are symbols of hope, resilience, and the impact of a community united in purpose.
At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, every breakthrough brings hope — and every milestone is worth celebrating. Even in the face of challenges, these joyful moments are made possible by the unwavering support of people like you. For children, each milestone marks a powerful chapter in their journey. Let’s come together to honor these bright beginnings and continue fueling the lifesaving mission of St. Jude — so families everywhere can experience more reasons to celebrate.
