St. Jude Spirit of the Dream - Memphis

Join us on September 20, 2025, for the 10th annual St. Jude Spirit of the Dream at The Domino's Event Center on the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee. Guests will celebrate the achievements of African Americans who have made significant contributions to Memphis and beyond while embodying the spirit of the St. Jude mission. This special evening will feature live entertainment, exclusive auction packages, the presentation of the Spirit of the Dream awards, and a delectable array of dishes crafted by renowned Chef Phillip Dewayne, known for his innovative and mouth-watering culinary creations. Community leaders Wilfred Busby and Tyrone Burroughs will be honored with the Legacy Award and Spirit of the Dream Award at its annual dinner on Saturday, September 20.

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, making this celebration especially meaningful as we honor the legacy and ongoing work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in advancing care and research for children with sickle cell disease.

All proceeds benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food - so they can focus on helping their child live.
