Thank you for joining us on Saturday, September 7, 2024 for the 19th annual St. Jude Night of Hope, Noche de Esperanza, Gala in Dallas, Texas. Together, we kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the many ways the Hispanic community is supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
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.
For more information on becoming a sponsor at next year's event, contact Tabatha Gonzalez-Olaechea at tabatha.g.olaechea@alsac.stjude.org.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer. Together, we can save more lives.
