"Our Domino's team members were proud to rally together with other stores across the country to support the life-saving mission of St. Jude," said Fernando Salido who owns Domino's locations throughout the Greater Austin, Laredo, McAllen and San Antonio areas.  "The Domino's located in Eagle Pass was ranked No. 5 in the nation for percentage of orders with donations.  I am thankful to our customers who joined our efforts and contributed during the campaign. Together we were able to not only raise 'dough' but deliver hope to the children, families, doctors and scientists at the children's hospital."

2017 was the sixth straight record-setting campaign for Domino's. Since naming St. Jude as its national charitable partner in 2004, Domino's has raised more than $47 million for the hospital.
