About
November 14, 2007 marked the national grand opening of the Chili's Care Center. The Care Center, which will house the major treatment and research programs for brain tumor and bone marrow transplant patients, was made possible by donations from Chili's annual Create-A-Pepper to Fight Childhood Cancer campaign.
Create-A-Pepper grew out of a local fundraising campaign for St. Jude in 2002 and became a national campaign in 2004. The campaign offers guests the opportunity to donate to St. Jude by customizing a signature Chili's pepper coloring sheet.
Funds raised from the campaign contribute to Chili's 10-year plan to donate $50 million for the construction of the Chili's Care Center
