Midnight on the Hill, a student-led philanthropic initiative, concluded its annual fundraising campaign with a successful campus event held on April 4 at the Preston Health and Activities Center. The event generated over $121,000 in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The finale brought together students for an evening of community-centered activities, including live entertainment, food, games and interactive stations. The event marked the culmination of a year-long effort by student organizers to engage peers in fundraising and advocacy for children and families receiving care at St. Jude.

Midnight on the Hill has evolved from its original form into a well-established tradition on campus, building momentum each year through a series of awareness and engagement events. The organization’s mission centers on ensuring that families facing pediatric illness are supported—emotionally, financially and medically—through the work of St. Jude.

The funds raised through this campaign will directly support patient care and research at St. Jude, contributing to the hospital’s commitment that no family receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food.
