Philanthropy
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Located in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the leading pediatric treatment center for children’s cancer. No child is turned away from treatment due to a family’s inability to pay.
In 1999 Tri Delta officially adopted St. Jude as a national philanthropic partner. In 2002 Tri Delta pledged to raise one million dollars in four years to endow the hospital’s Teen Room. 2006 Tri Delta pledged an additional ten million dollars in 10 years, to name the patient care floor in the new Chili’s Care Center. In less than 3 years, Tri Delta raised 7.8 million dollars and decided to change the drive from 10 in 10 to 10 by 10, setting the goal of fulfilling our commitment by the end of the year. As of April 2010, we are only $188,756.14 away from our 10M goal!
