A Long Island event
Thank you for joining us for the seventh annual Gold Coast Cares for St. Jude, one of the premier Long Island charity events at Oheka Castle that included cocktails, a seated gourmet dinner, live music, one of a kind premium auction items and the story of a St. Jude patient. Since 2012, dedicated members of the committee and the Long Island community have raised more than $2 million for the children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Your contributions will help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
You can still support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude
Every gift you give makes a real impact in the lives of St. Jude kids and their families.
-
One pair of crutches
Crutches sized especially for children help them maneuver during treatment. Raising just $100 can help St. Jude provide the tools necessary for our young patients to stay mobile.
-
One red blood cell transfusion
Children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases often need transfusions. The funds you raise can help St. Jude provide the best care and treatment for patients.
-
One hour of physical therapy
Physical therapy helps ensure every child treated here enjoys the highest quality of life possible.
-
Two days of oxygen
During treatment, St. Jude patients may need oxygen to help their bodies function properly and aid in healing. Raising $750 can help cover the cost of two days of oxygen for a St. Jude patient.

Patient family necessities for 20
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. Your fundraising goal of $1,000 can ensure that parents at Tri Delta Place, our short-term housing facility, can obtain these essentials free of charge.
*When you make a donation using this information, your donation will be used to provide breakthrough research, treatment and cures. Items listed here are representative of services and supplies that are part of the treatment and care of children at St. Jude. The cost of each item or service is an approximation, and will vary based on actual costs incurred and individual patient needs. Your donation will be used for the general operating needs of St. Jude, where no family ever receives a bill for treatment, lodging, travel or food.
