Phi Delta Chi, a co-educational fraternity, develops student leaders to advance the pharmacy profession. The mission of Phi Delta Chi goes hand-in-hand with the mission of St. Jude, improving the lives of children through unparalleled medical care and research. In August 1995, Phi Delta Chi adopted St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as its national philanthropic partner at the 60th Grand Council Meeting in Memphis.

Drake University Up ‘til Dawn

 

Up ‘til Dawn is an all night event that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Students come together to raise at minimum $100 each for the hospital, though most students go well above and beyond that amount. Since this event started at Drake University in the fall of 2013, we have raised over $200,000. St. Jude, founded by Danny Thomas, provides free treatment, food, and housing to children and their families who suffer from cancer and other life threatening diseases. They do not discriminate based on race, religion, or ability to pay, they simply give. Since the hospital has opened in 1962, they have brought the worldwide pediatric cancer survival rate from 20% to over 80%. St. Jude is dedicated to their cause and even freely shares all of their research with other healthcare institutions and professionals around the world because they believe no child should die in the dawn of life. Regardless of how you show your support for St. Jude, whether it be fundraising and attending the event or donating to the cause, your dedication makes a difference in the lives of the patients and families of St. Jude. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We are excited to support this amazing cause with you.

 

For the kids,
