It's that time again!! If you're seeing this post: it means you know at least one of us. Family? schoolmate? coworker? sports fan? Phish fan? co-volunteer? fundraiser? socializer? And, if you know us, you know that we only reach out when we absolutely believe in the cause we are supporting.
So PROUD of Amy's 12 years and John's 6 years supporting St Baldrick's with the O'Neills team. At the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, they do one thing, and they do it well: They fund childhood cancer research. About 60% of all funding for drug development in adult cancers comes from pharmaceutical companies. For kids? Almost none, because childhood cancer drugs are not profitable. That's where we come in - with head-shaving and other fundraising events, this volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government!
"She shaves her head???" you ask? Um... no, she doesn't. But she is one of the dedicated treasurers/volunteers/supporters/cat wranglers who ensure that the event runs smoothly for those who do and she just as passionate about our fundraising goals as John is - just with a bit less breeze blowing on her at the end of the day ;) So this year, we're working as a team - a donation to either one of us is a Donation the BabRules are thankful for!
Your gift to this amazing foundation will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when we ask for your support, we're really asking you to support these kids. Thank you!
