Thank you for joining us on January 25, 2025 for the St. Jude Detroit Gala at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. We hope you enjoyed a festive afternoon in support of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
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 or volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Megan Phelps at megan.phelps@alsac.stjude.org.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer. Together, we can save more lives.
