This year, Viva St. Jude celebrates All That Glitters—a tribute to the brilliance of breakthroughs and the strength of every child we fight for. Every glittering moment represents progress, possibility, and the generosity that makes cures happen.
Join us for this two-day celebration of purpose and possibility, featuring a golf scramble, poker tournament, and gala.
This year’s theme is inspired by the candle Danny Thomas lit—a humble yet powerful promise to help those in need. That single light sparked a movement that continues to shine today.
Your attendance at Viva St. Jude helps illuminate the path to cures, break down barriers, and create a future where no child dies in the dawn of life. Join us September 25–26, 2026, as we turn hope into action and make this year sparkle with life-saving impact.
Because when all that glitters is hope, anything becomes possible.
