Financials

You'll find the St. Baldrick's Foundation annual report below, summarizing not only finances, but also the life-saving impact of the dollars you have raised and donated.

Since the first St. Baldrick's head-shaving event, most revenue has come from people asking friends and family questions like, “How much would you donate for childhood cancer research, to see me shave my head?”

Today, people of all ages and backgrounds support St. Baldrick's in many different ways:

• Shave — or trim! — their hair
• Take the Send Kids Cancer Packing backpack challenge
• Turn their birthday or other celebration into a fundraiser
• Run marathons
• Host golf tournaments
• Organize concerts
• And so much more

And that's not all.

The impact of volunteers active in the St. Baldrick's advocacy program cannot be overstated. Their goal: To Speak Up to advocate for federal funding and the best national policies to benefit families of children with cancer.

• In adult cancers, the largest portion of support for bringing new therapies to market comes from the pharmaceutical industry.
• While a few industry champions work with the childhood cancer community, the vast majority of funding for new therapies comes from the federal government and charities like the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

Childhood cancer is truly a bipartisan issue. Whatever changes on Capitol Hill, our commitment is to work with leaders in Congress and at the White House to give kids fighting cancer the best chance to live long and healthy lives.

You'll find more in the Annual Report, and we hope it will inspire you to get involved — or stay involved — and that you'll be proud of the impact you're making for infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting cancer.
