Philanthropists, influencers and celebrities gathered to honor the true stars — the patients and families of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The annual event, chaired by Javier Polit, President & Chief Information Officer for The Procter & Gamble Company, raised funds 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.
Broadcast journalist, news anchor, and the author, called the “Voice of Hispanic America” by The New York Times, Maria Elena Salinas, received the 2018 “FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars Lifetime Achievement Award” for her outstanding citizenship to the community.
