Thank you for joining us for the 16th annual International Dermatology It's All About the Kids for St. Jude Gala presented by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami, Florida.
Matching gifts are an easy way to increase your donation to St. Jude — at no additional cost to you! Many employers support your altruistic efforts by offering matching gift programs to your favorite charities. Check if your employer will match your gift to St. Jude or contact us at matchinggifts@stjude.org.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
For information on sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Lauren Tulowitzki at lauren.tulowitzki@alsac.stjude.org.
St. Jude provides comprehensive care and health equality for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. We tailor treatment for each child's unique needs, improving outcomes for some of the world’s sickest children.
