ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL received a pledge of $2 million over the next 10 years from InfinityQS International Inc.

St. Jude has named the Large Auditorium Gathering Space in the Marlo Thomas Center for Global Education and Collaboration in honor of InfinityQS to commemorate the company’s support.

InfinityQS received the Cardinal Stritch Donor of the Year Award, which recognizes a donor whose commitment reflects the vision and leadership of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas’ spiritual mentor, Samuel Cardinal Stritch, the Catholic archbishop of Chicago. InfinityQS has also sponsored and participated as St. Jude Heroes in three of the hospital’s annual St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend fundraisers.

Trump administration broke law by canceling DEI research grants, GAO finds

The Government Accountability Office, an independent, non-partisan congressional watchdog agency, found that NIH violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 when it cancelled nearly 2,000 research grants in an effort to comply with several of President Donald Trump’s executive orders, including “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing” (The Cancer Letter, Jan 24, 2025).
