In 1999, a partnership began between two organizations, Tri Delta Fraternity and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This partnership has grown into a wonderful friendship, deeply rooted in our shared values of unselfish leadership, progressive thinking, and service to others.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Ranked one of the best pediatric cancer hospitals in the country, St. Jude is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. In November 1999, Tri Delta further enhanced its current philanthropic focus by forming a partnership with St. Jude.
