Dear
Spartan Community,
I am excited to share information about
this year’s St. Baldrick’s event, which will take place at Summit Hill Junior
High on March 28, 2025. This will be our second annual St. Baldrick's Shaving
event. Last year, we raised an impressive $8,000, which we donated to Julia’s Legacy of Hope. This
organization was founded by parents, one of whom is a retired D161 teacher, who
tragically lost their daughter to Ewing’s Sarcoma and Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
We are proud to support them again this year.
In addition to supporting Julia’s Legacy of Hope this year, as
many of you know, we have a courageous SHJH student currently fighting Ewing’s
Sarcoma. While undergoing treatments, he remains an active and inspiring member
of our Spartan Family and we continue to be inspired by his strength. A portion of the money we raise will be donated directly to support him, while the other portion will go to Julia’s Legacy of Hope
to fund childhood cancer research.
Please keep an eye out for ways you can
help us make this year’s event our most successful fundraiser yet! We are
always looking for local businesses to contribute to our raffle fundraiser. Any
donations would be greatly appreciated.
For questions or to get involved, please
contact Kristen McDonald (kmcdonald@summithill.org) or Laura Goebel
(lgoebel@summithill.org).
