MIAMI, FL. (Top40 Charts/ St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the world's premier pediatric cancer research center, will celebrate its fifth annual FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars Gala on Saturday, May 19 at The Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. Model and television personality Daisy Fuentes will serve as the celebrity chair for the fifth consecutive year.

The gala will feature live performances by legendary singer-songwriter and Grammy Award winner Jose Feliciano, pop singer and multi-platinum recording artist who is now releasing his first ranchero-regional Mexican album Cristian Castro, Grammy Award winning Cuban singer and composer Albita, and number one Billboard ranked pop-tropical singer Fanny Lu. Hosting the evening is CBS4 News weekend anchor and entertainment reporter Jade Alexander.

The evening's activities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception featuring a high-end silent auction. The ceremony will include testimonial by a St. Jude patient survivor, live performances and an elegant dinner.

"For the past five years, countless of Latin artists and singers have truly embraced the life-mission of St. Jude by supporting the Angels & Stars Gala," said Daisy Fuentes. "Thanks to their contribution and charitable donations, they are helping us save the lives of children with deadly diseases."

"FedEx is proud to continue increasing critical awareness and philanthropic support for St. Jude," said Julio C. Barrionuevo, Vice President of Finance, Planning and Engineering for FedEx Express, Latin America & Caribbean, and Chair of the St. Jude Gala Planning Committee. "By partnering with talented celebrities and community leaders, we help St. Jude children overcome illness and triumph over disease, giving them much needed hope to persevere." FedEx has been the title sponsor of St. Jude Angel & Stars Gala since its inception in 2002.

FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars Gala, presented by FedEx Express, brings out some of the brightest Latin artists in entertainment. Barbara Bermudo, Giselle Blondet, Romero Britto, Rashel Diaz, Luis Enrique, Erika Ender, Luis Fonsi, Javier Garcia, Jose Jose, Jorge Moreno, Eduardo Osorio, Francisco Paz, Carlos Ponce, Neida Sandoval, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Sissi, Gaby Spanic and the late Soraya are just few of the other talents who have participated at the Angels & Stars Gala and supported the life-saving mission of St. Jude over the past few years.

Since opening, St. Jude has developed protocols that have brought survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent to better than 70 percent overall. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and around the world since opening in 1962. St. Jude improves the survival rates of children with catastrophic illnesses worldwide, through the transfer of knowledge, technology, and organizational skills. St. Jude transfers the progress achieved in the treatment of childhood cancer to countries with limited resources.

Gala sponsors include FedEx Express, Stanford Financial, 4411pinetree.com, Univision Radio, The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, Selecta Magazine, Yahoo! Telemundo, ABAD Corp., Bacardi U.S.A., and VISA International, Latin American and Caribbean region.
