About Our Cause:

Children's Cancer Charities is the focus of Tri Delta members' philanthropic efforts. The mission of these charities is to help alleviate the suffering of children with cancer. At local, national and international levels, Tri Deltas offer financial and volunteer contributions to the research and treatment of children with cancer.  

In November 1999, Tri Delta joined with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as its national philanthropic partner. With this arrangement, St. Jude assists Tri Delta chapters to plan philanthropy events that will directly benefit the children and subsidize research costs at St. Jude. In September 2002, Tri Delta's Executive Board agreed to a four-year, million dollar endowment for the Patient Teen Room at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. In less than four years, Tri Deltas across the nation raised over $1,000,000 dollars to build a Teen Room at the Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Tri Delta has taken on the new goal of raising funds to name the Patient Care Floor in the new Chili’s Care Center.  Tri Delta has committed to raise $10 million in ten years for this floor, with each chapter having $62,500 as its goal. 

To date, Tri Delta nationally has raised more than $4.4 million for the hospital.  This is made possible by the commitment from more than 115 Tri Delta collegiate chapters and from the support of the Tri Delta Executive Office. 

Since 2005, our chapter has raised over $77,000 for St. Jude, and this year alone over $23,000.  We are also proud to announce that USC Tri Delta was the first chapter on the West Coast to reach its chapter's goal!
