Great news today for the future of Memphis, the city our mission is so blessed to call home. Mayor Young said it well: "... other companies across the country and across the world will begin to take notice."

Wow. All I can say. What an honor tonight celebrating the milestone of $100 million raised for the kids of St. Jude from our longtime and great friends at Tri Delta.

Our friends at Tri Delta have done it again. Last night they announced a new $100 million commitment to St. Jude, for which we are so, so grateful. Tri Delta is a top five fundraiser for St. Jude and the highest fundraising Greek partner for *any* philanthropic partner.

I’m filled with gratitude for our amazing supporters who help make this possible: St. Jude is the most trusted not-for-profit — or for-profit — brand in recent Morning Consult consumer surveys.

In a week filled with special events, this is one of my very favorite – the 12th year our great friends at FedEx have honored a St. Jude patient with their name on an airplane. Congrats Micah!

The FedEx St. Jude Championship has started — some of the world’s top athletes playing in support of some of the top scientists in the world finding cures for kids. Grateful to all for making this a success — and for the fans at @TPCSouthwind who are living charitably with their support.

We mourn the passing of Phil Donahue, a beloved member of our St. Jude family. He was a kind, compassionate and generous soul who cared deeply for others and supported our mission with passion. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marlo and the entire Donahue and Thomas families.

One year of home. One year of hope. Just the beginning for generations to come. So grateful for the leadership, franchisees and customers of Domino's Pizza who made possible The Domino’s Village patient housing facility, which opened a little over a year ago on the St. Jude campus.

Sixty-seven years ago this week, 100 supporters gathered to sign ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, into existence. We've come so far since 1957, and I’m excited for the possibilities of the next 67 years. Thank you to all who support St. Jude!

Thank you, Penny Hardaway, for being such a great supporter of our mission. Looking forward to seeing Memphians respond to support St. Jude and watch some great basketball next Tuesday.

Will we see you at FedExForum tonight? It's the inaugural Hoops for St. Jude Tip-Off Classic, and it's already a success because of the energy and passion I saw from the players at dinner last night. Let's make this an annual event, Memphians! stjude.org/get-involved/f…

Samantha and Ankur are two incredible professionals who chose to bring world-class experience to Memphis for the cause of St. Jude. I’m so grateful they’re here and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have on sick kids across the world. stjude.org/media-resource…

Happy birthday and a big thank you to Chip Gaines for asking, “What good can I do today?” and delivering with an incredible gift to the kids of @stjude. Chip & Joanna Gaines have always put purpose first and we're so very grateful.
