The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is proud to be a Charity Partner in the 2015 Naperville Marathon — a qualifying race for the 2017 Boston Marathon!
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is the largest funder of childhood cancer research grants outside the U.S. government. A volunteer-driven charity best known for its signature head-shaving events, St. Baldrick’s is committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for all childhood cancers and to give survivors long, healthy lives. Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s has awarded more than $154 million to support lifesaving research, and funded more than $27.3 million in 2014 alone.
When you reserve a charity slot with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you commit to raising a minimum of $300 for childhood cancer research. In return you will get a discount on any Naperville Marathon entry fee, a free race jersey, and other amenities unique to Charity Runners. Your efforts will help the Foundation fund some of the most brilliant childhood cancer research experts in the world, and the younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow.
The race discounts start at $40 off during Charity Week, but will decrease as entries fill, so be sure to register early!
To join the St. Baldrick’s running team, please contact Heather Kash at Heather@StBaldricks.org to find out if there are any charity slots remaining.
If there are unclaimed slots, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation will send you an entry discount code to apply to the race of your choice; otherwise you will be put on a wait list.

- Charity Runner race bib
- Charity Village access, including:
- pre-race stretching
- post-race stretching and massage
- gear check
- Eligibility for Top Fundraiser Award
