Cancer knows no boundaries and does not discriminate! Today is World Cancer Day, a day to honor those lives lost to childhood cancer and a reminder of why we continue to fight for those diagnosed with cancer EVERY 2 MINUTES! You can join us in making a difference in the lives of kids who have cancer!

Today is World Cancer Day, and we’re recognizing that childhood cancer knows no borders. Through our international partners and grants, St. Baldrick’s is making an impact for kids around the world.

Here are some big ways your impact spans the globe for kids: https://bit.ly/3jnVBtF

“As we watched our daughter, who we affectionately refer to as “Supergirl Julia” and countless other sweet children suffer through grueling surgeries and treatment, we longed to do something. What we knew for sure is that kids deserved better. They deserved a chance at a healthy, happy, fulfilling life. We wanted to make it better for these little ones in whatever way we could. It was also important to us to pay forward the love and support others extended to us, but we just didn’t know how. Little did we know, St. Baldrick’s Foundation would soon show us the way.”

We did it! Just over a week ago we held our 12th head shaving event for the St. Baldrick's Foundation in order to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancers and research and today we officially surpassed our $10,000 fundraising goal! Every dollar goes a long way to supporting lifesaving research and showing kids that they are not alone! Thank you to every volunteer, shavee, and supporter of this years event!

By the time Andre was diagnosed with Wilms tumor, the cancer had spread to his left lung, resulting in a more aggressive treatment plan. Andre endured radiation and nine months of chemotherapy, celebrating the end of treatment in May 2020. Through it all, Andre handled everything with strength and determination, inspiring others along the way.Today, he has no evidence of disease and follows up with his doctors every three months.

Because of the hard work of shavees, donors, barbers and volunteers alike we can help make difference in the lives of children with cancers like Andre!
