WELCOME TO THE PARTY


Party For Life is a non-profit charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for the brave children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Each year, we host the Giving Thanks Gala as a fun way for Chicago philanthropists to raise awareness and support.
Note: The Giving Thanks Gala is not your typical, stuffy charity event- we party hard for our cause.
Founded in 2012 by John and Suzy Tsiones, Party For Life operates on a 100% volunteer basis: the board of directors, event vendors and staff are all unpaid. Our overhead is extremely minimal to maximize funds for the children. We donate every dollar raised to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Always have, and always will. Party For Life has raised and donated over 600K for St. Jude.
We are grateful for your kindness and generosity to keep
St. Jude a place where families will never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, travel, food or housing.
Thank you for partying with us.
