This is year 19 being involved with events for St Baldrick's Foundation and year 17 raising donations for this foundation--did not think that volunteers could raise donations the first two years.
Over those 19 years I have been involved in numerous events (29) and have been shaved 15 times in solidarity for children with cancer. Additionally, I have been a volunteer event organizer for 16 events up to this point and working out details for an event in 2025.
Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care? Because kids in treatment often lose their hair and have no choice in that but I have a choice and if it brings awareness for childhood cancer then it is worth it.
Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.
Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.
A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!
Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
Please help me continue to make a difference and help me reach my goal to be the top fundraiser for this year. I have reached that goal on several years now and taking a moment to brag that I have raised $80,000.00 and would love to continue to increase that total.
Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
