Event Details

After participating in St. Baldrick's since 2010, Schaumburg High School is proud to be hosting an event again this year!

Our theme this year is WHY IT MATTERS. Our honored kids, and ALL of the kids fighting cancer, are our WHY. We began this fight to support one of our students in 2010, and we have continued since because science is still searching for a cure. Please consider a donation to one of our participants - students and staff are shaving their heads in solidarity, cutting ponytails for Children with Hair Loss, or simply fundraising for research.

Families should not have to grieve their children, which is why this matters. St. Baldrick's helps to fund research for pediatric cancer and you can help. Every donation big or small makes a difference.

Please consider making a donation and help us make this our biggest year yet! If you need inspiration, please see the kids we honor and support below. Read their stories and think about your WHY.

St. Baldrick’s Honored Kids

Kids with cancer are our reason for it all. They’re the inspiration behind our event and the reason we’re helping fund childhood cancer research. We believe all kids should be able to grow up and turn their dreams into realities. Join our event or make a donation, and click the photos below to read their incredible stories.
