Thank you for joining us for the 24th annual Fedex / St. Jude Angels and Stars Gala on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the InterContinental Hotel in Miami.
From a promise of “Help me find my way in life, and I will build you a shrine” to the fulfillment of his dream, Danny Thomas lived to see his little hospital become an international beacon of hope for the catastrophically ill children of the world. Donors joined us for an unforgettable evening, including a cocktail reception, dinner, inspiring mission moments, live entertainment and dancing, all to help advance the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
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 or volunteer opportunities for next year's event, please contact Maria Ruiz de Luque at maria.ruizdeluque@alsac.stjude.org or 786-422-4774.
