Ticket sales now open; proceeds support St. Jude research and treatment

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Community leaders, philanthropists, and advocates across Georgia will gather for the 12th annual St. Jude Evening of Hope Gala, presented by longtime supporter HD Supply, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the InterContinental Buckhead Hotel. The event brings together supporters to celebrate and advance the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, which is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

More than 450 guests are expected for this year’s “Hope Grows Here,” garden party–themed celebration, chaired by Trisha Ferguson and Michael Masters of Masters Capital Management.

Guests and sponsors will enjoy inspirational and unforgettable St. Jude mission moments, including a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live entertainment by The Pebblebrook Jazz Ensemble, directed by Eulas Kirtdoll, and exclusive live and silent auctions featuring luxury items and one-of-a-kind experiences.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^®

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Its purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.^® It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80% in the United States, and it won't stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes to help doctors and researchers at local hospitals and cancer centers around the world improve the quality of treatment and care for even more children. Because of generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.
