Since 1991, the Denver Alumnae Chapter has had an endowment at the Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation. This unique endowment, now more than $2 million, ensures the perpetuation of training, research and treatment at the hospital’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD).
In 2017, $94,572 was distributed for clinical treatment, Wellness Team directed programs, teen and young adult activities, and patient/family support services. The Denver Alumnae Chapter's endowment changes the lives of these CCBD young patients in profound ways. Children’s Hospital Colorado stated, “Without the financial support of Denver Tri Deltas, Children’s Cancer Center simply could not provide the wide range of multidisciplinary programs and services it does today.”
A Global Impact As part of its continued commitment to childhood cancer, Tri Delta supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as its national philanthropic partner. This partnership has resulted in more than $56.5 million raised for childhood cancer. And in February of 2018, Tri Delta officially announced it had reached the halfway mark in its $60 million in 10 years goal with $30.3 million raised since 2014. But the impact isn’t on St. Jude alone. Since St. Jude shares research globally and locally, many of the hospitals that Tri Delta chapters support have also been beneficiaries of St. Jude’s research and have also made great strides themselves in treating and defeating childhood cancer. No doubt, between its partnership with St. Jude and the many significant ways Tri Delta women are supporting their local children’s hospitals, Tri Delta is positioned to make a lasting, global impact on finding a cure for childhood cancer, demonstrating exactly what it means to be brave, bold and “kind alike to all.”
