About Tri Delta/St. Jude Partnership
In November 1999, Delta Delta Delta Fraternity (Tri Delta) officially adopted St. Jude as its national philanthropic partner. Since then, Tri Delta chapters across the country have raised money and awareness for the hospital in a variety of ways. Currently, Tri Delta has raised more than $15 million dollars for kids with cancer and other deadly diseases. Our efforts have supported the hospital’s Teem Room, Patient Care Floor, and now a Clinic.
About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization. For more information, please visit www.stjude.org.
