St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® to honor legendary Hispanic TV personality Cristina Saralegui at upcoming FedEx/St. Jude Angels and Stars Gala
Live performances by Chino y Nacho, DJ Mauricio Parra, & Richard Marx
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® will celebrate its 14th annual FedEx/St. Jude Angels and Stars Gala, by welcoming back model and television personality, as well as co-founder, Daisy Fuentes, for an evening of fine dining and Latin music at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. The annual event raises 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.
Cuban-born American journalist and one of Time magazine’s “25 Most Influential Hispanics in America,” Cristina Saralegui, will be recognized for her commitment to giving back and educating the Hispanic community. “Being recognized by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a true honor. Lending my voice to matters that touch my heart is what’s it’s all about. These children need our help and they need your help,” said Saralegui.
Cristina will join approximately 600 guests for an evening of celebration that includes a St. Jude family speaker, live and silent auctions, and a special performance by Latin Grammy Award-winning duo Chino y Nacho.
