Thank you for joining us on March 9, 2024 for the 17th annual Syracuse for St. Jude Gala in Syracuse, New York. Together, we raised $275,188 to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®
We hope you enjoyed an evening of live entertainment, including cocktails, dinner, a silent auction, a Give to Live auction and an impactful Mission Moment. Thank you for joining us in celebrating the life of St. Jude patient and Honorary Officer, Colin Hayward-Toland, as we presented an award in his namesake: the Officer Colin Hayward-Toland Award.
All proceeds from this event benefit patient and patient families of St. Jude. 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 Elise Penge at Elise.Penge@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.
