St. Jude freely shares its groundbreaking discoveries, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children around the world. And now St. Jude is sharing even more information about childhood cancer with the launch of St. Jude Cloud, an online data-sharing and collaboration platform that provides researchers access to the world's largest public repository of pediatric cancer genomics data.

Developed as a partnership among St. Jude, DNAnexus and Microsoft, St. Jude Cloud provides accelerated data mining, analysis and visualization capabilities in a secure cloud-based environment to researchers around the world. ?

St. Jude is making it possible to leverage the collective power of the global research community to make more discoveries more quickly in the rarest childhood diseases.

The World Health Organization has designated St. Jude Children's Research Hospital its first WHO Collaborating Centre for Childhood Cancer. The designation represents a new push by both organizations to expand efforts that will advance pediatric cancer survival rates worldwide. As a Collaborating Centre, St. Jude is partnering with WHO to develop strategies that strengthen the global resources, organization and planning needed to identify and treat pediatric cancer.

WHO brings its expertise in working with government, civil society and leaders across health systems regionally and globally. St. Jude offers experience working with multidisciplinary care providers essential to implementing and sustaining successful programs in countries around the world.

Kickoff Party Planned for 2016 St. Jude Evening Under the Stars Party and

St. Jude Golf Classic, benefiting kids battling cancer, other life-threatening diseases

Benefit to Honor Dallas Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle

DALLAS (May 16, 2016) – This year’s annual St. Jude Evening Under the Stars Party & St. Jude Golf Classic will take place on Saturday, Oct. 22, and Monday, Oct. 24, to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^®, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. 

To launch the festivities, St. Jude will host a kick-off party from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, at DEC on Dragon in the Dallas Design District.

The October weekend’s event chairs Holly and Doug Brooks will join emcee Doug Dunbar of CBS 11 as approximately 1,000 guests will attend the two-day celebration of the St. Jude mission to help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

The dinner program, co-chaired by Margo and Jim Keyes, at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Omni Dallas Hotel, will include a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, and entertainment by the Dallas String Quartet Electric. Individual tickets are $250 and sponsorship opportunities are available for a limited time. This year’s magazine sponsor is PaperCity Magazine.

During the event, longtime St. Jude supporter Dallas Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle will be honored for his participation in Hoops for St. Jude – an annual season-long fundraising and awareness campaign that unites the NBA community around the St. Jude mission. Carlisle is a regular visitor to the hospital and enjoys participating in patient activities during basketball season.

The event would not be possible without the support of presenting sponsor T-Mobile, operated by Amtel, LLC, as well as 7-Eleven, Inc. and Chili’s Grill & Bar, which are title sponsors.

“Watching the community come together to support such a worthy cause means more than words can say for Holly and me,” Brooks said, “Every child deserves the chance to live a long and healthy life, and we know St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital won’t stop working until no child dies from cancer.”

Following the St. Jude Evening under the Stars Party, there will be the St. Jude Golf Classic on Monday, October 24, at Stonebriar Country Club on 5050 Country Club Drive in Frisco, Texas. Co-chaired by Joe Haggar III and Laura and Taylor Brooks, the event will include a scramble with tee times at 8:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. Register in foursomes or as individuals for $500 each. Morning players will wrap-up the tournament with a luncheon and awards ceremony. Afternoon players will be invited to an end-of-day cocktail reception and awards ceremony.
