We do one thing and we do it well: we fund the best childhood cancer research. Because kids with cancer need cures now.
Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every 2 minutes. It’s real, it’s ugly and we’re here to do something about it.
The Childhood Cancer STAR Act authorizes $30 MILLION annually from 2019 to 2023 for programs and research related to childhood cancer.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer and donor powered charity committed to supporting the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
It affects kids whether they’re just learning to walk or just learning to drive, in big cities or in small towns, kids with brown eyes, blue eyes, or green. Every year, we choose five kids to represent the thousands of kids diagnosed with cancer.
Since 2005, we’ve invested over $282 million in childhood cancer research grants worldwide. It’s about collaboration. It’s about powerful ideas, big and small. It’s about never giving up until we have cures for all kids with cancer.
