Go to Chilis to eat :D

This September, give yourself a well-deserved break from the kitchen and provide hope to cancer-stricken children.

As part of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Chili's Grill & Bar is asking its guests to donate $1 or more to color pinups of the Chili's signature pepper during its nationwide "Create a Pepper to Fight Childhood Cancer" campaign for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Additionally, Chili's will donate 100 percent of its profits on Monday, September 26 to St. Jude.

For more than 40 years, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has been finding cures and saving children. Through its discoveries, St. Jude has helped push the survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer, from 4 percent in 1962 to 85 percent today. And no family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. It takes more than $1 million a day for St. Jude to continue its mission.

Chili's is hoping its customers can help raise $3 million for the hospital during the campaign. Last year, Chili's raised more than $2.5 million at its more than 850 company-owned and franchised U.S. locations.

For the second year, Jeff Probst, host and producer of the Emmy^TM Award-winning CBS-TV series Survivor, will serve as spokesperson for the campaign. "It couldn't be easier to have a positive impact on children who are fighting cancer," said Probst. "You go into any Chili's during the month of September and simply color a pepper for $1. It doesn't sound like a lot, but every dollar helps the children who depend upon the life-saving research and care provided by St. Jude."
