For the first time ever, Chinese characters have been added to Providence St. Jude's Lifetime Giving Wall, a powerful symbol of heritage, tradition and service.
This meaningful milestone honors NT and Arlene Chang, first-generation immigrants from Taiwan whose lives have been shaped by decades of opportunity in the United States. Guided by gratitude, the Changs chose to establish the Nien Er Caring Fund to advance innovative medical technology at Providence St. Jude.
In recognition of their impact, their place on the Guardian Circle section of the Lifetime Giving Wall is uniquely represented through Chinese calligraphy, personally rendered by Arlene herself. The Changs hope this visual representation will inspire other members of the Asian American community to see themselves reflected and give back in the same way.
