The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises money for childhood cancer research. The mission of the St. Baldrick's Foundation is to raise awareness and funds to Conquer Kids' Cancer by shaving heads on St. Baldrick's Day. Hair loss is a common part of the chemotherapy treatment for cancer patients and this event allows people to show support to those in need. In order to raise money, participants seek donations from friends and family and then get their head shaved at the event. You can easily donate online, or in person at the event!
