Women of Bergen County Make Things Happen! St. Jude's 3rd Annual Angels for Hope Gala

Join St. Jude for the third annual Angels for Hope gala, Saturday, June 25 at 7 p.m. at the White Beeches Country Club

2011-06-08

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, June 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Who:
When late entertainer Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 1962, he was not just changing the lives of children who would walk through its doors—he was changing lives across the world. When St. Jude completed its $1 billion, five-year expansion in 2005, it bolstered the hospital's efforts to find cures for the catastrophic diseases of childhood. The growth more than doubled the size of the hospital's original campus. The expansion included the Children's GMP, LLC—the nation's only pediatric research center on-site facility for production of highly specialized treatments and vaccines—an expanded Department of Immunology and more. Now with the addition of the Chili's Care Center, a larger, rejuvenated Kay Kafe cafeteria for employees and patients, and renovations to the medicine room and rehabilitation areas, the hospital is more poised than ever to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly.

What:
Join St. Jude for the third annual Angels for Hope gala, Saturday, June 25 at 7 p.m. at the White Beeches Country Club, this event will feature a night of gourmet appetizers and stations, cocktails, music and dancing, live and silent auction. A give to live auction is a special opportunity for guests to bid on items that the children of St. Jude need. The money raised by this auction funds needed treatments and research at St. Jude.

Mix and mingle poolside at the White Beeches Country Club and help St. Jude continue to provide vital, lifesaving research and treatment to children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

This summer, before you settle on your vacation plans, consider staying put in Illinois, the most important state in the nation - maybe even one of the most important places in the world. I say that because Illinois gave us Abraham Lincoln, not only the greatest president in our nation's history, but perhaps one of the greatest statesman and orators the world has ever known. Consider this: Without Lincoln, the United States of America would have been divided into two countries, one where people lived free and the other where people lived as slaves—a thought worthy ...
