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.

Tri Delta’s national philanthropic organization is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Texas A&M Tri Delta is honored to serve St. Jude in their life saving mission; in fact, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to 80%. St. Jude believes no family should ever receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food– and that’s where we come in!
Since 1999, Tri Delta members have raised over $62 million for the kids of St. Jude. We recently committed to raising $60 million in 10 years, the largest single commitment by a St. Jude partner. As a way to honor this pledge, we have received recognition with the naming of the on-campus, short-term housing facility, Tri Delta Place.
This past summer, Tri Delta had the privilege of celebrating 25 years of partnership with St. Jude!! In the last 25 years, Tri Delta has raised $100 million dollars for St Jude. This is such a rewarding accomplishment, and we are thrilled to continue to raise money for the children!!
