On April 30th, we will proudly run the Nashville Half Marathon on behalf of the St. Baldrick's Foundation. We know running 13.2 miles is a miniscule feat in comparison to the daily struggles faced by children bravely fighting pediatric cancer but we hope that together we can raise awareness and money for this great cause and honor all those touched by cancer! Over the last several years, thousands of volunteers have raised more than $56 million for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation provides resources for cancer research, and unlike many other charities who take 15% or more of every dollar raised to fund internal operating expenses, every dollar raised through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation goes directly to fund childhood cancer research. And, as an IRS recognized charity, your donation is tax deductible. You can count on this donation being used responsibly. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. In 2010 alone, they gave over $14 million – that’s more in grants for childhood cancer research than any other organization except the U.S. government. And all because nearly 38,000 people shaved their heads or participated at other events such as road races on behalf of the foundation! You can give directly online (www.StBaldricks.org) or by phone (888-899-BALD). Credit cards are the most efficient way to give, or you can write a check payable to: “St. Baldrick’s Foundation.” Checks can be mailed to St. Baldrick’s Foundation, 1333 S. Mayflower Avenue, Suite 400, Monrovia CA 91016. Also, don’t forget to get your employer involved since many companies have matching gift programs. Every dollar we raise counts! On behalf of some very special kids, thank you for your support!
