PhilanthropyTri Delta’s chosen philanthropy Nationaly is Children’s Cancer Charities. In conjunction with this effort, Tri Delta enjoys a partnership of the heart with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Tri Delta’s philanthropy allows chapters and members to choose to support a local project like children’s hospital or a cancer camp and to support the efforts of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Whatever the choice, Tri Deltas are joining together to offer financial and volunteer contributions to the research and treatment of children with cancer. Together Tri Delta is making a difference. St. Jude Children's Cancer Research Hospital
In November 1999, Tri Delta further enhanced its current philanthropic focus by forming a partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. Since that point the Theta Alpha Chapter here at the Universiy of Washington has been working directly with the St. Jude office in Seattle to help not only funraise money, but volunteer our time in the office. In September 2002, Tri Delta's Executive Board agreed to a four-year, million dollar commitment to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The project funded the Patient Teen Room, a safe haven for teen-aged patients looking to get a few minutes away from parents and hospital staff. Included as part of recent renovations, the Patient Teen Room was added to provide older patients with a place of their own-an area strictly for teens and completely “off-limits” to small children and adults. The room includes an activity area, computer center, entertainment room and a music area. Tri Delta's commitment to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is recognized by a plaque outside of the room.
In May 2005, Tri Delta fulfilled the million dollar endowment for the Patient Teen Room and celebrated with the Executive Board, collegiate and alumnae members, and patients. Contact Us |
