Thank you for joining us on Thursday, May 16, for the 19th annual St. Jude Discover the Dream at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown in Columbus, Ohio. Donors from Central Ohio and beyond will gather to enjoy rooftop cocktails, dinner, inspirational guest speakers and auctions in support of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
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 becoming a sponsor at next year's event, contact Kelly Litzler at kelly.litzler@alsac.stjude.org.
St. Jude provides comprehensive care and health equality for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. We tailor treatment for each child's unique needs, improving outcomes for some of the world’s sickest children.

Our global impact
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer.
In many countries, however, only 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
