The teenagers who fundraised their way into a teen-only gala played the part by dressing in their Sunday (night) best. Disney Channel actor and Minnetonka High School alum Ryan McCartan hosted the St. Jude Red Carpet for Hope Teen Gala, indulging guests with autographs and a group selfie he posted to his Facebook account. Partygoers also enjoyed a viewing of the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards, dancing and a dessert buffet. Funds from the gala, now in its second year, support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.


Gala host Ryan McCartan with his parents, Pam and Conn McCartan, Eden Prairie High School principal.
