Tri Delta Reaches Goal of $15 Million for St. Jude Hospital
Tri Deltas across the country hope another step has been made to find a cure for pediatric cancers. Over three years ago a national campaign was begun with the slogan "15 in 5". The goal was to raise $15 million dollars to build a new wing for St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Five years was the time frame to reach the goal.
Today it was announced all $15 million was raised in 3 1/2 years! Collegiates, friends and alumnae flipped pancakes, ran races and organized events all across the U.S. and Canada.
Earlier Delta Delta Delta earned funds to provide a teen room, name the children's care floor and now build a new wing for the famous hospital.
At least two physicians on the staff are Tri Deltas and others intern there.
