The result
The St. Jude Walk Miami ran on 26 September 2026 at the Miami-Dade County Fair & Expo Center, 10901 SW 24th Street. The event page carried 570,360 dollars raised against a 650,000 dollar goal, displayed as 88 percent. The gap is 79,640 dollars.
The same page carried 2,598 participants on 261 teams. Registration closed before the walk, and the page now reads that the event accepts donations and no registrations.
Revenue per head is the published figure
Three ratios divide one published total by another. 219.54 dollars raised per participant. 2,185.29 dollars per team. 9.95 participants on an average team.
The walk publishes the numerator and the denominator, which is why a walk result can be reported to the dollar on the day.
The venue side arrives as a quote
Fair Expo Center rents the Miami-Dade County Fairgrounds. Its rental page states 86 acres and more than 70 events a year outside the 21-day Youth Fair. The grounds carry 400 recreational vehicle hookups, 22 acres of asphalt, permanent overhead lighting, restrooms and showers. The Main Entrance Building holds 28 enclosed ticket windows across two floors. The venue describes itself as non-union.
Neither page carries a day rate. The rental page closes on a request for information, and a planner receives a number in private.
That silence sets the limit on this analysis. A cost per dollar raised for a walk on these grounds starts with a quote the venue does not publish and the organiser does not release.
Beds sit outside the record
The walk page names no hotel, no room block and no room-night total. Event-day spend on beds has no published figure to attach to the walk, in either direction.
That leaves the largest procurement line on a one-morning event unmeasured.
A closed registration book fixes income
Registration closed before 26 September. Income settled before the first participant arrived, and the donation line kept moving afterwards.
The published clock runs 6:30 a.m. site open, 7:30 a.m. opening ceremony, 8:00 a.m. walk start. Operational spend concentrates into a morning, and that morning is the window a procurement desk wants priced.
The sponsor line is the published offset
Miami Supreme Home Services and the Supreme Twins Foundation present the Miami walk. The page names each sponsor and no amount.
Sponsorship is the instrument that carries event-day cost in this model. An analyst can name the underwriters and cannot size the underwriting.
Three lines would price it
A venue day rate for the grounds. A room-night count with the block, where a block exists. A cost per participant for the event day.
Publish those three and the cost ratio becomes arithmetic. Hold them back and every efficiency claim on this model rests on the sponsor line and the organiser's own account of its spending.
The position
The 88 percent is a fundraising result. It reports income against a target and carries no cost side.
A cost per dollar raised for this walk needs the venue quote and the organiser ledger. Neither is public for this event, so the number stays in the private file and the published record stops at the gate.
