Join us for the 11th annual Around the World with St. Jude Gala in Tampa, Florida on November 7, 2026, presented by The DeBartolo Family. The evening will feature cocktails, dinner, a silent and live auction, live entertainment, and a personal story from a courageous St. Jude patient.
For more than 60 years, St. Jude has been working to improve global survival rates for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Your continued support ensures families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
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.

St. Jude patient Liliana and her family
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped push the U.S. childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%. Yet, around the world, about 1 in 5 will survive. That’s why we’re helping make lifesaving treatments available to more children in more places — because where they live shouldn’t determine if they live.
