St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is a place like no other, an international
beacon of hope for children across the world. St. Jude continues to lead the way
the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening
diseases, such as sickle cell disease. When St. Jude opened its doors in 1962, it
was the first fully integrated children’s hospital in the south. Families never 
receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can
focus on helping their child live.

“Celebrate St. Jude” brought the mission of St. Jude directly to supporters in New
Orleans at the beautiful Hotel Saint Vincent during the much anticipated return 
of The ESSENCE Festival of Culture 2022. The private brunch was hosted by St. Jude
National Ambassador, Khadeen Ellis, who is loved and adored for being a distinctive
voice for millennial parenting through her sitcom, digital presence and podcast.
Jacob Latimore (actor and pop-R&B vocalist), Vincent Herbert ( record producer, 
record executive, and founder of Streamline Records – an imprint of Interscope Record),
and more joined the #CelebrateStJude festivities while encouraging others to join
a life-saving mission to support research and treatment for children worldwide. 
St. Jude patient families shared their heart-felt triumphs, experiences and stories
of hope alongside Ellis and Kera Wright (Chief Financial Officer of ALSAC). For
