While the lion’s share of St. Baldrick’s grants are made in June (and your fundraising now will determine how much will be available!), March ushers in the first round of small grants.
And though they be small, they are mighty! At $5,000 each, the Summer Fellowships granted for 2013 total $110,000, and what these grants can do is so important.
(In July, look for another $20 million or more in children’s cancer research grants, assuming fundraising goals are accomplished, with another set of grants in the fall!)
St. Baldrick’s Summer Fellows are young men and women who spend the summer between their first and second year of medical school working in a pediatric oncology lab.
The list below represents a taste of things to come — in two ways! The immediate benefit is that each Summer Fellow will be accomplishing a research project under the leadership of a pediatric oncology expert. In the long run, this experience will lead some of the best and brightest to focus on a career in childhood cancer research. Who knows what new cures they may discover in their lifetimes!
If you have donated or raised $5,000 or more, take pride in what $5,000 can do!
