Cancer is such an awful disease. I'm in awe of the patients who go through the treatment and the caregivers, friends and family who stand by their side during the good times and bad. Thank you for reminding us to take a moment today to remember how cancer touches our lives everyday -- and more importantly, what we can do to help. :)<br><br>Heather<br>@prTini Lauren, your story makes me take a moment to pause and remember my grandfather who died of cancer almost a decade ago.

Thank you for giving me the final push to make my haircut appointment. I'll be donating my hair to Locks of Love for the third time this fall. I know it's only hair, but I've been procrastinating with this 10 inches.

It's posts like this that make you stop and think. My contribution may be small, but it's still something. And a lot of somethings can truly make a difference.

The St. Jude campaign includes encouraging tables to "create a pepper" and color in exchange for donating a few dollars to St. Jude. Also, for every customer who signs up with the Chili's e-mail club, Brinker donates $1 to fighting childhood cancer. <br><br>The coolest part is that on September 27th, 100% of profits go to St. Jude--servers even donate their tips. <br><br>I work for Chili's and this is my favorite time of the year. We really make a difference just by asking each table to color a pepper and donate a dollar or two. Last year our store alone raised over $16k. :) <br><br>Teresa If I may add to your great list:

The coolest part is that on September 27th, 100% of profits go to St. Jude–servers even donate their tips.
