A Haircut that Saves Lives

Together, let’s #ConquerKidsCancer, one trim at a time!

For kids battling cancer, every day is a fight — for strength, for time, and for a brighter future. Research is the key to better treatments and real cures, but it takes a united effort to make progress. When you cut your hair and fundraise as a St. Baldrick’s “trimee,” you’re standing with every child in that fight.

Your trim becomes a powerful symbol of hope and brings us closer to a world where every child can survive and thrive. Sign up to cut your hair at a St. Baldrick’s event and join a community of volunteers supporting kids with cancer.

Help fund research and clinical trials that save kids’ lives

Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s events have made it possible to invest over $369 million in childhood cancer research grants worldwide.

Three reasons you should become a trimee.

  • Kids Need You

    Every two minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. This disease robs too many kids of their childhoods, dreams, and precious moments. By becoming a trimee, you’re giving kids the chance to grow, laugh, and live out their dreams.

  • Make an Impact

    When you cut your hair for the cause, you’re directly funding groundbreaking childhood cancer research. Plus, you can donate your hair to another organization, doubling your impact and helping even more kids in need.

  • Have Fun Your Way

    Whether you go bold with a big chop or part with a meaningful length, make it a celebration! Join a local St. Baldrick’s event, trim solo at home, or gather friends for a group haircut party.
