Thank you for joining us on October 10, 2025 for the ninth annual St. Jude Harvest Moon in Peoria, Illinois. Guests enjoyed complimentary beer and wine, heavy hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment from Patrick n Swayze, a silent and live auction, raffles and more.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill 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.

Peoria Proud
You’d be hard-pressed to find a place more in step with St. Jude than the Illinois city behind the Memphis to Peoria Run. It started small — a handful of runners, a motorhome, a couple of vans and a crazy notion. Today, it's raised $56.2 million in its history.
