\nEvening honors founder Danny Thomas\u2019 legacy and the Middle Eastern community\u2019s support for St. Jude<\/i><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The St. Jude Hope & Heritage Gala<\/a> soared to new heights by raising $1.4 million for St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> on April 25 at Cipriani Wall Street, bringing together more than 650 community and philanthropic leaders and longtime supporters from across New York City.<\/p>\n

\nThe evening honored St. Jude founder Danny Thomas, who was of Lebanese heritage, and his dream of an institution that would treat and research serious childhood illnesses without charging families a bill. The Arab American community rallied around this cause by creating the American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC<\/a>), the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude. That support has enabled progress at St. Jude and has helped push the U.S. childhood cancer survival rate from 20% in the 1960s to more than 80% today.<\/p>\n

\nAttendees heard from Megan and her daughter, Maelin-Kate<\/a>, who was treated at St. Jude for Fanconi anemia. After being referred to St. Jude, Maelin\u2011Kate received ongoing care that included monitoring, blood transfusions, and a bone marrow transplant in 2019. \u201cWalking through the doors of St. Jude changed our lives forever,\u201d Megan said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t just save Maelin-Kate\u2019s life; they gave us hope, strength, and the feeling that we would never face this journey alone. Today, St. Jude continues to provide her with the best possible care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe evening also featured performances from Shereen Ahmed, best known for her role in My Fair Lady<\/i> on Broadway, the New York Arabic Orchestra, and DJ Cyril Nehme. Event sponsors included Dr. Ramon Tallaj and Dr. Ines Hernandez, Duggal Visual Solutions, Mona Aboelnaga & Sabi Kanaan, and Ramp.<\/p>\n
