September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Chili’s is inviting families, friends, and food lovers to take part in something colorful, fun, and full of heart. The beloved Create-A-Pepper program is back, and this year it’s brighter (and tastier) than ever!
Whether you’re heading in for a casual dinner or planning a fun family night out, Chili’s is turning tables into creative spaces to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. And the best part? Every dollar you donate through the Create-A-Pepper campaign goes directly to supporting lifesaving research and treatment for kids battling cancer.
What’s Create-A-Pepper All About? 🌶️ 🖍️
From now through September 30, guests at participating Chili’s locations can purchase a Create-A-Pepper coloring sheet for a donation of $1, $5, $10, or $25. Your kiddos (or the whole family!) can color your pepper masterpiece right there at the table (don’t worry, they’ve got crayons!), and Chili’s will proudly display your artwork on the walls for all to see. It’s a simple way to give back, honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, spark some creativity, and teach kids about donating
All proceeds go directly to St. Jude, which means:
- No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
- Every donation supports innovative research to find better treatments for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
- You’re helping to create a brighter, healthier future for kids across the country and the world.
So if you’re looking for a meaningful (and fun) way to give back this September, Chili’s has you covered.
A Legacy of Love and Support 🎗️💛
Chili’s has partnered with St. Jude for 23 years, raising more than $120 million since 2002. From the very first Create-A-Pepper efforts in Memphis to opening the Chili’s Care Center at St. Jude in 2007, the restaurant chain has shown just how much good a community can do when it comes together.
Even if you can’t make it into a restaurant, you can still be part of the magic:
- Create-A-Pepper at home and donate online when placing an order
- Round up your change when ordering online or in-app
- Donate directly to St. Jude through their website
No matter how you choose to give, you’re helping families in need during one of the most difficult times of their lives.
