Boulder High School has hosted a St. Baldrick's fundraiser for the past five years, raising more than $283,000 from donors. Anyone can donate to help support children needing treatment in our own community.

Each March we host an event to raise funds for the cause. There will be games, activities, and of course, head shaving!

Last year, BHS participants and donors raised over $98,000. This year we are hoping to raise above $100,000. To continue to improve on treatment outcomes, clinical trials are a necessary part of the process. In addition to helping fund the grants for the trials themselves, the St. Baldrick's Foundation also helps pay a portion of the cost to families entering their child into a clinical trial. With the money raised over the past 5 years, those funds could have helped up to 280 families to offset some of the cost of their children’s clinical trials. We hope to provide more families with the hope for treatment this year.

It is estimated that there will be more than 16,000 children under the age of 20 diagnosed with cancer this year alone. Whether you decide to shave your head, volunteer to raise money another way, or make a donation, please join us to give kids with cancer the support and opportunities they deserve.
