Thank you for joining us on May 18, 2024 for the St. Jude Celebrity Chef and Wine Dinner at Charlotte Marriott City Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. We came together to enjoy a festive evening of dining, live entertainment, dancing and cocktails with our hosts, Jonathan and Natalie Stewart. Guests enjoyed tasty creations at three different stations from our celebrity chefs including Food Network’s Jet Tila, Charlotte’s own famous restaurateur Jim Noble and Compass Group Executive Chef Chris Ivens-Brown, all to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
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.

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.
