	Massy's Sunny-Cold Days Fund	When Mary Stewart’s high risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia relapsed, her doctors put her chances of survival between 10-20 percent. Against all odds, she is now five years in remission. Her journey is nothing short of a miracle, but it also comes with a lifetime of health issues. We need better research and better treatments for our kids! Together with St. Baldrick’s and with your help we will put an end to pediatric cancer.
	Christian’s Crusaders Childhood Cancer Research Fund	Christian was the sweetest, kindest, funniest boy you could ever be lucky enough to know. He died at the age of 9 from medulloblastoma, a brain tumor. Christians Crusaders was created to keep his memory alive and celebrate his life. Please join us in raising funds so all children have a better chance of a cure and the opportunity to thrive beyond treatment. #rameystrong
	The Ben Brandenburg Fund for Ewing Sarcoma Research	In March of 2020, Ben was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the bone and soft tissue. Very little is known about what causes ES, and it has long been assumed to be an untargetable cancer. Ben’s fund intends to advance research into early detection, genomics and lower toxicity therapies that improve outcomes for patients both at initial onset and after relapse.
	Gallo’s Heroes: Assist Kids with Cancer	I’m Danilo Gallinari, or some call me Gallo! I’m a professional basketball player and currently play for the Boston Celtics. I’m excited to be a St. Baldricks Champion and use my platform to help raise awareness and critical funds for childhood cancer research.
	Cody Thompson Memorial Hero Fund	For nearly a decade, Cody raised funds for St. Baldrick’s by allowing the highest bidder to choose an outlandish hairstyle for him to wear before shaving his head. Although Cody did not have cancer, he knew what it was like being in and out of hospitals throughout his childhood, having been born with a heart defect that required surgery as an infant. Our family hopes to continue his legacy of giving back and we are proud to raise funds in his memory to give kids a lifetime.
	Osteosarcoma Collaborative	Osteosarcoma Collaborative has teamed up with several well-known pediatric cancer foundations to fund a new $1.5 million “Fight Osteosarcoma Together Super Grant.” This grant will accelerate research in finding new treatments for a cancer that strikes children, teens, and young adults and has not seen a change in treatment for over 30 years. Together we can turn the tide on osteosarcoma.
	Expanding Access Hero Fund	Childhood cancer does not discriminate. Access to clinical trials and cutting-edge research for kids battling cancer from diverse, underserved and economically challenged populations is critical. Your support makes access to better treatment a possibility.
	#Joe Strong 71	Joe Purdue tragically died from DIPG at 19. The #Joe Strong Fund was started within months of his passing to keep his memory alive, give his tragic loss meaning and purpose, and make sure DIPG research is funded so future generations have better treatment options. We must do better. We will do better. We’re coming for you DIPG!
	Bad Luck Moms Club	Imagine an oncologist telling you that your child has cancer and proceeding to tell you that there is nothing you could have done to prevent it, “it is just bad luck”!!! It’s equally horrific and infuriating that 95% of childhood cancers have no known cause. Help us get to the bottom of this with more childhood cancer research.
	Forever Martha Strong	Diagnosed with metastatic Ewing sarcoma when she was 13, Martha faced her cancer diagnosis and the next seven years of treatment with remarkable courage and her trademark sense of humor. She dedicated much of her time and energy during those years to the effort to find better treatment options and a cure for other young people like herself. Martha’s legacy is one of strength, courage, and love.
