2025 MIRACLES ON THE BAY GALA!

One of my roles with St. Jude is being a member of the St. Jude Northern California Fundraising Committee. This past year, I’ve also had the honor of joining the Miracles on the Bay Gala Committee. Since I’m currently studying abroad in Madrid, I was unable to attend the Gala, but it was a huge success, as usual!

My family, along with Stanford friends and colleagues from Yosemite (biotech venture supporting cancer treatments), represented beautifully. They were treated to an inspiring speech by Dr. Sara M. Federico, Director of the Solid Tumor Division at St. Jude. Dr. Federico leads groundbreaking clinical and translational research on pediatric solid tumors, pioneering novel drug development and risk-guided therapies for neuroblastoma. She’s currently overseeing clinical trials that are transforming outcomes for children and young adults with relapsed or treatment-resistant cancers, truly changing the face of pediatric oncology.

Thanks to the entire St. Jude NorCal team for putting on a powerful event, which raised more than $1M for St. Jude. Speaking of $1M for St. Jude, that’s my fundraising goal, and you can help me get there by donating today!
