My name is Quinton and this is my 5th year shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures in the Las Vegas Valley Schools. All it takes is 1 person with a vision and a dream.
In 2020, I spoke at 3 different schools about St Baldrick's and we had 3 on-site shave events planned - the first in CCSD history in fact. But COVID shut us down 1 day before our first event. We raised over $30,000 tWell we are back at it. My high school, Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, will be holding an on-site shave event this school year in March 2023 and I am leading the charge! I will be shaving for this event and then will be shaving again in March. I set my goal high to set an example for my peers - $5000! With your help I know I can reach my goal.
Will you please make a donation? Kids with cancer need our support now more than ever. St. Baldrick’s is the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants, and the pandemic has slashed donations, slowing down the progress to find cures. Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. These kids are just like me - the only difference is they are fighting for their lives and the research can change their outcome.
Thank you so much!
Quinton
