A Commitment to St. Jude



As a Tri Delta member, something I am so proud to take part in is our partnership to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Through working with this non-profit organization, I have really learned the importance of philanthropy and giving back to those in need. Children have always been one of my passions in life. The commitment Tri Delta chapters across the nation have made to St. Jude has shown some remarkable outcomes.
In 2006, Tri Delta set a goal to raise $10 million dollars in 10 years. By 2009, chapters across the nation had already raised $7.8 million dollars. Then, the goal was changed to 10 by 10. ($10 million by 2010). This goal was achieved with ease. Here is a video to show some of the impact this goal placed on St. Jude patients.
It is quite rewarding to know the difference and impact I can make. Working as a team, with all Tri Delta members, makes achieving goals so much easier. Working together, we can do so much for St. Jude.
On Nov. 4, 2010, the women of Tri Delta will be hosting their annual Delta House of Pancakes, a pancake dinner in which all proceeds are donate to patients, treatment and research at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Contact me or any Tri Delta member on campus if you are interested. This event will take place at the Tri Delta House. Tickets are only $5 and for a wonderful cause!! :)
