St. Baldrick’s Foundation Childhood Cancer Research Grant Award
The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer and donor powered charity committed to supporting the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
It started with a friendly dare: would you shave your head to raise money for kids’ cancer research? What happened next would change the world. This bold act of baldness has gained major momentum, since its start in 2000. Today, we have more than 1,000 head-shaving events taking place around the world at pubs, restaurants, schools, churches, parks, firehouses, military bases – you name it. It is our constituents’ way of changing the world, in a meaningful way. Volunteers also raise funds through athletic challenges, livestream fundraisers and many other activities.
Since the Foundation's first grants as an independent charity in 2005, St. Baldrick's has invested more than $352 million in childhood cancer research grants worldwide. It’s about collaboration. It’s about powerful ideas, big and small. It’s about never giving up until we have cures for all kids with cancers. For more information, please visit StBaldricks.org. You can also search current and past grants at StBaldricks.org/grants.
FUNDING HIGHLIGHTS
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation works hard to be sure that every dollar makes the biggest impact possible in childhood cancer research.
