Thank you for joining us on Friday, April 12, 2024 for the 14th annual St. Jude Hope in the Harbor gala at the beautiful Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. We hope you enjoyed dinner and cocktails, live and silent auctions with one-of-a-kind experiences, live entertainment and powerful stories of St. Jude patients and their families.
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, please contact Karine Sewell at karine.sewell@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.
