Toast to St. Jude Returns to Boston With Cocktails, Dancing, and a Night That Gives Back
Boston is getting dressed up for a cause that matters.
On Friday, April 10, the 12th annual Toast to St. Jude takes over The State Room for a late-night celebration that blends a high-energy party with real impact.
This is not just another charity event. It is one of the city’s most anticipated spring nights out, and it has already raised more than $1.6 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital since it began.
TicketsA Boston Night Out With a Purpose
The evening runs from 8:30 pm to midnight and is designed to feel more like a lounge party than a formal fundraiser.
Guests can expect:
- A cocktail-style reception with passed hors d’oeuvres
- Open beer and wine bar
- Dancing and live entertainment
- Silent and live auctions
- Special giving moments throughout the night
There will also be the opportunity to hear directly from a St. Jude patient, bringing the mission into sharp focus in the middle of an otherwise electric night.
Why This Event Matters
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital operates on a model that is almost unheard of in healthcare.
Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. That means parents can focus entirely on helping their child live, not on how to pay for care.
Events like Toast to St. Jude help make that possible.
A Venue That Matches the Moment
Set high above the city at The State Room, the night comes with sweeping skyline views, a polished atmosphere, and just enough edge to keep it from feeling formal.
It is the kind of place where Boston shows up dressed well and stays out late.
How to Attend
Tickets are available now here.
Those interested in sponsorship or volunteer opportunities can reach out directly to the event team at siobhan.dunn@alsac.stjude.org.
There is also an easy way to double your impact. Many employers offer matching gift programs, which means your donation to St. Jude could be matched at no additional cost.
The Bottom Line
Boston has no shortage of events. This is one of the few where the night actually means something beyond itself.
A packed dance floor. A skyline view. And a cause that changes lives long after the music stops.
