St. Jude Invest in Hope Los Angeles has raised more than $3.5 million for the children and families of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since its inception in 2016. All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude, 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 sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Pricila Novoa at pricila.novoa@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.
