Stars Celebrate St. Judeโ€™s


Categories: celebrity charities

The Beverly Hilton Hotel was awash with stars on Saturday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of St. Judeโ€™s Research Hospital. Several a-list celebrities turned out for the charity benefit including actor Jason Bateman, Anne Heche, William Shatner,โ€œModern Familyโ€ co-stars Julie Bowen and Jessie Tyler Ferguson, โ€œSex and the Cityโ€ star Kristen Davis, Mila Kunis, Vanessa Williams and โ€œMad Menโ€ star Jon Hamm.

St. Judeโ€™s Research Hospital was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, and the event was held on what would have been his 1ooth birthday. Phil Donahue, whoโ€™s married to Thomasโ€™ daughter Marlo, hosted the event and actor Ray Romano performed a special birthday tribute.

A commemorative postage stamp of Thomas, which goes on sale Feb. 16, was also unveiled at the gala. The benefit reportedly raised over $1 million for the organization. For more on St. Jude’s visit www.stjude.org
