St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

In 1999 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Today, our collegiate members play a critical role in our fundraising for St. Jude with campus events such as Delta Dodgeball, D-Hop and Delta Desserts. Our alumnae chapters support local and regional children’s hospitals and pediatric cancer initiatives across North America and we partner together to support St. Jude’s Walk/Run and Memphis Marathon by forming teams, raising money and volunteering at these events.

• In 2013, Tri Delta celebrated raising $15 million in 3 ½ years to name the Specialty Clinic at St. Jude.

Since its founding in 1962, St. Jude Children’s Research hospital has been the world leader in advancing the treatment and prevention of catastrophic diseases in children. In order to achieve founder, Danny Thomas’ vision of “no child should die in the dawn of life”, St. Jude holds a strong set of ethical values, never denying a child treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay. Over the past 50 years, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent. St. Jude is primarily funded through partners in the community, like Tri Delta and we feel so blessed to be an integral part of such an amazing cause.
