Overview St. Jude Wall Street Taste of New York is the financial industry's November benefit for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: a weeknight of restaurant tastings and live and silent auctions, organized by co-chairs and committee members from the trading firms, banks and asset managers in the room. The 2025 edition, the 36th, was held at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. St. Jude opened in 1962, when childhood cancer was considered largely incurable, and says it has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. On site The Lighthouse sits at Pier 61 on the Hudson. It is an early-evening event in cocktail attire, and restaurants serve tastings around the room alongside specialty drinks while the auctions run. When the event was at Guastavino's in 2014, 18 restaurants served, NBC's Willie Geist hosted, a St. Jude patient spoke, and the hospital's culinary director, Chef Miles McMath, served its Cosmic Mac n Cheese. Lots that year included a Rangers luxury box, a Billy Joel suite at Madison Square Garden, a table at Rao's and a Bahamas resort stay. Audience St. Jude pitches the night to individuals and companies in New York's financial community, and the committees show who comes. The 2026 co-chairs came from TD Cowen, ClearBridge Investments, Lazard Asset Management, DMC Partners, Citadel Securities, Virtu and Zweig-DiMenna Associates, and the executive committee from RBC Capital Markets, Piper Sandler, JP Morgan, Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs, Brown Brothers Harriman and Bank of America. In 2014 the committee counted more than 60 investment professionals from nearly every major firm. Track record In 2014, its 25th year, the event drew about 700 guests and raised nearly $2 million, $59,000 of it through a Buy It Now auction, and by then it had raised more than $40 million for St. Jude across its history. Cathy Rosen of Zweig DiMenna Associates and Michael Lynch of Bank of America Merrill Lynch received the hospital's Humanitarian Award that night. Brand presence Sponsorship is sold in five levels named for the mission, and every level carries event tickets and recognition on the event website, signage and digital programs.
