In 1999, St. Jude became the philanthropic partner for all Tri Delta chapters across the nation. We work hard so that no family goes home with a bill, and we are proud to raise awareness on childhood cancer. After raising more than $30 million since the beginning of the partnership, in 2014, Tri Delta pledged to raise $60 million in ten years for St. Jude. We have successfully raised $60 million in only 8 years, completing this milestone in 2022! This is the single largest commitment ever completed by a St. Jude partner to date! In honor of this pledge, St. Jude has named its on-campus, short-term housing facility Tri Delta Place. Tri Deltas everywhere are dedicated to helping children live, scientists learn, and St. Jude further its mission of finding cures for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
