Chili's Grill & Bar to Donate Profits From Sept. 20 to Help St.
Jude Children's Research Hospital Fight Childhood Cancer MEMPHIS,
Tenn., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Lending a hand to help fight
childhood cancer can be as easy as dining at one America's favorite
casual dining restaurants. On Monday, September 20, Chili's Grill
& Bar will donate 100 percent of the day's profits to St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital(R) as part of its commitment to raise
$2 million for the world-renowned pediatric cancer research center
in honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 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

and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is
financially supported by ALSAC, its fund-raising organization. For
