I trimmed to raise money for childhood cancer research

I trimmed to raise money for childhood cancer research

I'm raising funds with the St. Baldrick's Foundation - the #1 charity finder of childhood cancer research grants - to support research that finds cures and safer treatments for all childhood cancers, and provides hope for children and families facing this fight.


My high-school, Schaumburg High School, holds the St. Baldrick's event bi-annually. After being greatly inspired my freshman year, I am now taking on the role of a fundraising participant in hopes of raising $1000.


On March 17, I will trim and donate 8 inches of my hair in order to contribute towards the research and work that goes on throughout the foundation. Your donation can help ensure that St. Baldrick’s next set of 25 years brings hope, progress, and cures for all the children currently living with any type or stage of pediatric cancer.


Any and every contribution is greatly appreciated. I thank you all in advance for your time and generosity!


Zbieram fundusze dla Fundacji St. Baldrick's. Jest to organizacja charytatywna ktora finansuje badania nad rakiem u dzieci i pomaga wynaleźć nowe metody leczenia. Moja szkoła Schaumburg High School w tym roku uczestniczy w tej akcji i ja postanowiłam wziąć w niej udział. Moim celem jest zebrać 1000 dolarów i 17 marca obciąć oraz oddać swoje włosy na rzecz tej akcji. Twoja donacja pomoże w dofinansowaniu badań i w przyszłości wyleczyć wiele dzieci z choroby raka.
