Since 2004, St. Baldrick’s head-shaving events in Chicago have raised nearly $60 million for childhood cancer research! More than 180 Chicago-area events took place last year in honor of local children with cancer, survivors, and those who have passed away.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation has funded over $286 million in childhood cancer research grants, more than any other organization except the U.S. government. Many of these grants fund research in Illinois, including research at the University of Illinois – Chicago, the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, and many other local institutions. These grants help give more kids access to clinical trials, train the next generation of pediatric oncologists, and fund specific childhood cancer research projects.
