WHY:           

To learn more about St. Jude’s lifesaving mission and the 2018 FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars gala. The gala supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and its International Outreach Program (IOP) which is improving the survival rates of children with life-threatening diseases worldwide, by sharing knowledge, technology, and organizational skills with doctors in partner clinics. The program works with clinics in 17 countries around the world, mostly in Latin America. And because of events like Angels & Stars, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

HISTORY:   

Angles & Stars was co-founded in 2002 by model and entrepreneur Daisy Fuentes. Since that time, the Miami gala has raised more than $6 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In previous years, gala attendees have not only experienced a wonderful event, but also entertainment by some of the most recognized Spanish singers in the world who have generously donated their time in honor of the children of St. Jude.

The 2018 FedEx/St. Jude Angels and Stars gala will be held on Saturday, May 19 at the Intercontinental Hotel. For more information visit stjude.org/angelsandstars.
