Thank you for joining us September 27-28, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada for the return of Viva St. Jude, an unforgettable weekend in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital! From the golf and poker tournaments to the the Fashion Soirée and St. Jude mission moments, we hope you enjoyed this fun and impactful weekend supporting 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.
