Distributed over the next 15 years, the funding will help support the new Chili’s Clinical Center at St. Jude, which is set to open in February 2027.
The President of Chili’s wrote the following:
Our guests and Team Members have been incredible supporters of St. Jude. With over 3 million individual donations in the last year alone, they continue to show how much this mission means to the Chili’s community. Together, we’ve raised more than $130 million over the past 24 years, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Our new $150 million commitment to support the Chili’s Clinical Center builds on everything we’ve accomplished together. We’ve created a lot of special moments at Chili’s, but what we’ve done together for St. Jude and for children with cancer is something we’ll be proud of for decades to come.
The President and CEO of ALSAC made the following statement:
This extraordinary commitment from our friends at Chili’s is a powerful example of how generosity can change lives. For more than 20 years, Chili’s guests and Team Members have helped support families facing some of life’s toughest challenges and fuel the research that is helping drive childhood cancer survival rates higher in the U.S. and around the world. We are profoundly grateful for Chili’s steadfast partnership and unwavering support of the St. Jude mission.
As part of Chili’s pledge, throughout September, guests can purchase a Create-A-Pepper coloring sheet for a $1, $5, $10 or $25 donation, with 100% of proceeds benefiting St. Jude.
Every dollar supports research and treatment at St. Jude, including treatment, travel, housing and food for patients.
