For years, Central Illinois has gathered to celebrate and raise funds at the annual St. Jude Evening with the Stars Gala. With your support, this event has grown into a major fundraising event supporting the life-saving mission of 
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital:
Finding cures. Saving children. Everywhere.

We are pleased to announce that the St. Jude Gala will be held on Friday, April 4, 2025 at Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino in East Peoria. The Gala will feature live and silent auctions, a raffle, dinner, live music, and dancing. The event celebrates the Annual Juanita & Dan Deeb Volunteer Service Award & Corporate Service Award. Recipients will be announced in early 2025.
