LA Art Show Opening Night Premiere Party Honoring St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
The 24th annual LA Art Show Opening Night Premiere Party honors St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with about 300 VIP guests, hosted by actress Kate Beckinsale on January 23rd in Los Angeles convention center.
This year’s event benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the fifth year in the row. To thanks to generous donors, 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.
In collaboration with the World Health Organization, St. Jude seeks to raise the survival rate of the six most common childhood cancers to 60 percent by 2030. In the United States, four out of five children survive cancer, but in developing countries, that statistic is reversed. Only one out of five children diagnosed with cancer will live. St. Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
All proceeds from the sale of Patron and Vanguard tickets and 15 percent of sales of Friend tickets will go directly to the charity. All attendees of the Opening Night Premiere party are supporting the lifesaving mission St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.
The Patron Reception features a special presentation by St. Jude with address by Beckinsale. Attendees enjoy cuisine by James Beard Award-Nominated Chef Jeffrey Nimer of Haute Chefs LA, and Executive Chef Nick Shipp of The Upper West, desserts from celebrated local chefs Valerie Gordon and Shannon Swindle, NESPRESSO, Cavit Prosecco and delicious hors d’oeuvres from over 20 select LA restaurants.
