Honored Kids & Teens

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation exists to allow kids and teens to turn their dreams into realities.

They're at the heart of every fundraising event, every shavee or participant, every volunteer, and every donor.

Driven by Kids’ Stories to Create Real Change

Every child impacted by cancer has a story worth honoring. Whether you fundraise, share their journey, or spread awareness, your actions help carry their courage forward. There are many ways to get involved!

Ambassadors

Each year, five Ambassadors are chosen to represent the thousands of kids affected by childhood cancer across different ages, regions, and diagnoses. Their stories remind us that cancer doesn’t discriminate — and that one in five kids in the U.S. won’t survive. Meet this year’s Ambassadors and read their inspiring stories!

  • Lilah S.

    atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor

    Lilah has an easy smile, bold curiosity, and a confident strut. Sweet and silly, she loves donuts, coffee, and powering through appointments with pizza in hand, lighting up every room she enters.

  • Adalyn H.

    rhabdomyosarcoma

    When you meet Adalyn, her brightness is unmistakable. Though shy at first, a paintbrush or chocolate brings her to life. Playful and energetic, she loves crafting, hiking, animals, and chocolate croissants.

  • Laurel A.

    acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Laurel’s mischievous grin and big-hearted energy shine through. She comforts with hugs, lifts spirits with jokes, and brings joy everywhere. A lover of ballet, horseback riding, baking, and kayaking, Laurel is brave, loving, and endlessly playful.

  • Stephen F.

    Ewing sarcoma

    Stephen is an old soul—curious, thoughtful, and determined. He asks hard questions, studies deeply, leads bravely, and inspires others with resilience, grit, and unwavering purpose beyond his years.

  • Eoghan H.

    Ewing sarcoma

    Eoghan’s big heart, mischievous grin, and strong moral compass defined him—courageous, optimistic, and kind, with humor and grace that lifted others, even through hardship and unimaginable challenges.

Real Cures For Real Kids

1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive. Those who do often face lifelong health challenges from treatments that saved their lives. The research funded by the support of people like you has the power to change the future for every child diagnosed with cancer—giving them not just hope, but better treatments and cures for a healthier life.
