Pandora Jewelry Donates $10,000 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to Fund Childhood Cancer Research

LAS VEGAS (Feb. 27, 2020) – At Pandora Jewelry, they give a voice to people’s loves: the people we hold close to our hearts, the places that inspire us and the passions that drive us. The Pandora Jewelry stores in Las Vegas are supporting American Nevada Company President and St. Baldrick’s Board Member Phil Ralston’s passion for raising money to fund research by donating $10,000 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants.

Jenny McCoy, Director of Marketing for Pandora Las Vegas, will present the $10,000 check to St. Baldrick’s Foundation Chief Executive Officer Kathleen Ruddy, and St. Baldrick’s Foundation Board Member and Shavee Phil Ralston on Tuesday, March 3 at Pandora in The District at 2235 Village Walk Dr., Henderson, NV, at 11 a.m.

Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s has awarded more than $282 million total in childhood cancer research grants. More than $2.5 million of that has been awarded to various institutions in Nevada who are working to find better treatment options and a cure for all childhood cancers.

Phil will shave his head on Saturday, March 7 at McMullan’s Irish Pub in front of hundreds of people. Phil has shaved his head since 2008 and helped raise more than $326,000 with St. Baldrick’s to help kids defy the statistics of childhood cancers.

One in five kids in the U.S. diagnosed with cancer will not survive. Through head-shaving events like these, St. Baldrick’s helps fund research and has helped support more than 200,000 enrollments of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting cancer on more than 360 clinical trials.

About Pandora Jewelry
Pandora started nearly 30 years ago. Back in 1982, a jeweler’s shop that would one day become Pandora, was established in modest surroundings in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Danish goldsmith Per Enevoldsen and his wife Winnie.

In 2000, Pandora’s charm bracelet concept was first launched in the Danish market. Consumers embraced the concept, and, in the following years, driven by a growing and encouraging demand, the company began to expand internationally. Pandora entered the United States market in 2003 and Germany and Australia in 2004.

Today, Pandora is sold through more than 7,700 points of sale, including more than 2,700 concept stores in more than 100 countries across six continents.
