Who is TATE and what is "TEAM TATE"??
Tate is our family, he is our friend. Tate is a bright, fierce, and loved 10-year old in the fight of his life. Tate was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on March 9, 2022 and has been in treatment at Stanford’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital ever since.
To date, Tate has had 50+ days of hospital admissions; 100s of chemo treatments; and has missed almost a full year of school during his 3rd and 4th grades.
Tate's "Team" is made up of family, friends and network of hundred's around the world holding him up in their hearts.
Friends are proudly shaving their heads, family are doing races, and everyone everywhere is proudly wearing their "Team Tate" shirts (more on those below!)...all in support of Tate and towards St. Baldricks' cancer research efforts.
By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.

Research is hope for kids with cancer, but donations to find cures have been down since 2020. Your gift will give Tate and all kids hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants.
Can you help? Thank you!
