St. Jude Evening with the Stars

We are pleased to announce that the St. Jude Evening with the Stars Gala will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026 at Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino in East Peoria and hope that you will join us for an evening in celebration and support of the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital:

Finding cures. Saving children. Everywhere.

This event honors two local award recipients who embody the mission of St. Jude. Their dedication, along with the support of our key sponsors and donors, ensures that Central Illinois continues to play a unique and vital role in the history of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Recipients will be announced in December 2025.
