You can make a meal count on September 25 by dining at your local
Chili's Grill & Bar. On that day, Chili's will donate 100 percent of
profits to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This special day is
part of Chili's "Create A Pepper to Fight Childhood Cancer" campaign
occurring throughout September, which is also National Childhood Cancer
Awareness Month. During the entire month, Chili's is asking its guests
to donate $1 or more for the opportunity to color a pinup of Chili's
signature pepper; pinups will be displayed in restaurants for the
duration of the campaign.
In addition, supporters can visit
www.createapepper.com to purchase Create A Pepper T-shirts that can
be customized with permanent marker to fit their individual style. Also
new this year are Create A Pepper Gift Cards, which offer a means of
giving to those you love while giving back. Chili’s will donate $1 to
St. Jude for every $25 purchased in Create A Pepper Gift Cards, which
can be customized with permanent marker or crayon.
The funds raised help ensure that the life-saving research and care
provided by St. Jude can continue. For more than 40 years, St. Jude has
been dedicated to finding cures and saving children with cancer ad other
childhood catastrophic diseases. Its research breakthroughs have helped
push overall childhood cancer survival rates from less than 20 percent
in 1962 to more than 70 percent today. No family ever pays for
treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are
never asked to pay.
So get your co-workers or your family together on September 25 for
lunch or dinner at a Chili's near you. The meal you share can give kids
with cancer a fighting chance.
The Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation is a registered 501c(3) non profit organization that was created to Make a Difference in
the fight against pediatric brain tumors. For more information visit our
