It is nationwide! Chili's has done it for the last few years, and it has been a very successful fundraiser.

Here is info about what Chili's does to help fund childhood cancer research:

And here is the announcement from St. Jude:

Feel free to pass this information along to everyone you know! Unfortunately, anything to do with childhood cancer get severely under-publicized, so most people aren't aware of events like this. For example, did you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month? You wouldn't know it by the lack of gold ribbons. Even the American Cancer Society's website has their pink ribbons up for Breast Cancer Awareness month (October) already, but never put up gold ribbons for childhood cancer. Hopefully children's cancers will get the attention they deserve soon. That is one of the primary goals of the nonprofit I run, Children's Brain Tumor Research Foundation:
