One day out of the year, Chili's Restaurants  across the United States donate 100% of their net profits to St Jude Children's Research Hospital. And today is the day!

In 2006, Chili's announced plans to raise $50 million over a 10-year period, the largest single partner donation in the history of the hospital. In honor of the partnership, a state-of-the-art-building was named the Chili's Care Center. The center houses the bone marrow transplant inpatient floor, the Department of Radiological Sciences, inpatient activity areas and research laboratories. The Chili's Care Center was completed in November 2007. Now the children of St. Jude benefit from more sophisticated diagnostic imaging technologies and more precise radiation therapy.

It's a really wonderful way for all of us to help out the kids at St Jude Children's Research Hospital today- and THANK YOU Chili's for continuing to fight the good fight for the kids at St Jude!
