Since its inception eleven years ago, St. Baldrick’s events have raised more than $90.6 million for childhood cancer research, with over 146,900 heads shaved at over 3,400 events in 50 states and 28 countries. In 2010 alone, over 800 fundraising events were held throughout the country, raising over $22 million.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation makes grants to research institutions to find new cures for childhood cancer, and to find treatments to ensure a better quality of life for patients and survivors. The Foundation funds research projects conducted by established pediatric cancer experts, as well as younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow. Funds also enable hundreds of local institutions to participate in national pediatric cancer clinical trials, offering the best available care for every child. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is grateful to its many volunteers (bald or not!), donors and sponsors, including Allied World, Barbicide, Dowling & Partners, elope and PartnerRe.
