I helped to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Catamounts Against Cancer

Eight years ago, I shaved my head for the first time in support of childhood cancer research through the St. Baldrick's Foundation. What started as a single act of solidarity has grown into one of the most meaningful commitments of my life. This year, I’m incredibly honored to be serving as the Event Organizer for our St. Baldrick’s fundraiser at the University of Vermont.


St. Baldrick’s funds life-saving research and gives hope to kids and families facing cancer, and I’m proud to continue being part of this mission 8 years later.


Your donation can help ensure that the next 25 years bring hope, progress, and cures. Together, we speed up the progress of saving the lives of these brave children. 


Thank you for your donation!
