St.Jude Red Carnation Gala

Tau Kappa Epsilon at George Mason University invites you to the St. Jude GALA 2026 — a formal fundraising dinner where every dollar raised goes directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never pay a cent for treatment, research, or housing. Ever.

We've raised $7000+ this semester. Tonight we close the gap to $15k💵.

Here's what you're walking into:

Q: What is JeoparTKE?

A: Our signature event of the night. Parents bid to watch brothers take on wild challenges live on stage — think pie to the face, hot wings, ice buckets, and more. The energy in the room makes it unforgettable. All money raised goes directly to St. Jude.
