Chili's Grill & Bar to Donate Profits From Sept. 20 to Help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Fight Childhood Cancer

Through the end of September, Chili's will continue to promote its monthlong "Create a Pepper to Fight Childhood Cancer" campaign during which restaurant guests may donate $1 or more to color a pinup of Chili's signature pepper. The pinups feature the donor's name and are displayed in the restaurant. Donations from the pinups also go to St. Jude.
"The response from our guests to this campaign so far has been overwhelming," said Scott Nietschmann, Chili's chief operating officer. "Their support is helping make a difference in the lives of children facing tough battles with cancer and helping St. Jude find cures for deadly diseases."
More than 850 of Chili's U.S. restaurants are uniting for this national fund-raiser to support the life-saving work of St. Jude.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fund-raising organization.
