The St. Jude Hope and Heritage Gala honors the inspiring legacy of Danny Thomas, founder of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and celebrates his Middle Eastern heritage. Danny founded ALSAC (American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities) in 1957 as the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The generous contributions of the Middle Eastern community, both then and now, have been integral to fulfilling Danny’s vision that “no child should die in the dawn of life.”
