TDA | Thomas Dale & Associates

At TDA, our core mission is protecting people, assets, and environments so our clients can focus on what matters most. Recently in Los Angeles, that mission took on a deeply meaningful purpose: providing comprehensive event security for a major fundraising benefit supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and ALSAC.

Events of this caliber bring together donors, advocates, families, and community leaders united around a singular goal—advancing cures and saving children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. For an evening focused on generosity and hope, security must be flawless, welcoming, and discreet. Our team ensured that attendees, staff, and VIP guests could gather, connect, and celebrate in a completely safe, controlled atmosphere.

Protecting the People Who Protect Children

ALSAC (American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities) is the driving force behind the global mission of St. Jude, raising the funds necessary to ensure that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Supporting an organization with such a profound human impact is both a privilege and a responsibility our team embraced with dedication.

For our security professionals on the ground, the objective went beyond perimeter control and access management. Our goal was to create a seamless guest experience from arrival to departure. By handling venue coordination, credential verification, and discreet crowd management behind the scenes, we allowed the event organizers and benefactors to keep their focus entirely where it belonged: on the children and families St. Jude serves.

Giving Back Through Professional Excellence

Corporate responsibility is not simply a line item in our annual planning—it is an active practice. We believe that professional security companies hold a unique responsibility to strengthen and protect the broader communities in which we operate.

Partnering with high-impact charities like St. Jude and ALSAC reflects TDA’s dedication to using our operational strengths in service of causes that uplift vulnerable populations. Whether safeguarding a corporate campus or supporting an evening dedicated to pediatric research, our standard of care remains uncompromising.

We want to extend our sincere appreciation to the ALSAC and St. Jude teams, the event organizers, and every attendee whose contributions drive life-saving medical breakthroughs every day.
