Thank you for attending the 15th annual International Dermatology Research It's All About the Kids for St. Jude Gala presented by Andres Asion Foundation on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami, Florida.
We hope you enjoyed the colors and sights of a vintage-inspired circus breathing life into an evening that celebrated hope and the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.
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 Joanne Boigris at Joanne.Boigris@alsac.stjude.org.
