Thank you for joining us on January 27, 2024 for the annual St. Jude Detroit Gala, presented by James Group at The Henry Ford in Detroit, Michigan.

At St. Jude, expression through the arts helps treat the whole patient, not just the disease or life-threatening illness. Effective outlets like these can help patients express their creativity, build coping skills, support physical rehabilitation and more.

The St. Jude Detroit Gala showcased the art of many of St. Jude patients in various forms. Guests experienced interactive and inspirational displays that brought the mission and stories of St. Jude to life. Thank you for helping us celebrate our Detroit roots, our advancements since in 1962 and our strong community of supporters tied to the history of St. Jude.

We hope you’ll join us next year for this can’t-miss event, as your support helps to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.

To learn about sponsorship or volunteer opportunities at next year's event, contact Megan Phelps at megan.phelps@alsac.stjude.org or (248) 467-2068.

Highlights from the St. Jude Detroit Gala over the years

Every dollar makes a difference*

  1. One red blood cell transfusion

    Children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases often need transfusions.

    Donate $250

  2. One hour of physical therapy

    Physical therapy is provided to patients because children with life-threatening diseases like cancer may develop developmental, cognitive or physical impairments as a result of their illnesses and their treatments.

    Donate $500

  3. Parent necessities for 20 patient families

    Parents who bring their children to St. Jude often leave home in a hurry and forget to pack day-to-day necessities such as shampoos, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and lotion. At Tri Delta Place, our short-term housing facility, parents can obtain these essentials free of charge.

    Donate $1,000

  4. An ultrasound study for a St. Jude patient

    An ultrasound study is among the diagnostic imaging tests that doctors use to diagnose and monitor disease and treatment.

    Donate $2,500

  5. Daily room rate of the ICU

    The Intensive Care Unit at St. Jude has twice been recognized with the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence given by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. In 2009, the St. Jude ICU became Tennessee’s first ICU to win the honor.

    Donate $5,000
