The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
On March 17, 2000, in New York City, the first St. Baldrick’s event was held, creating a fun and unique way to align people behind children with cancer. Today, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation is highly-respected and growing fast, providing serious and thoughtful leadership in the search for cures.
Many St. Baldrick’s Foundation volunteers choose to participate in honor of St. Baldrick’s Honored Kids, whose stories are shared on the Foundation’s website and represent the more than 160,000 kids diagnosed with cancer each year worldwide.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a leading force in the childhood cancer community and has become the place to fund the best research wherever it takes place… the kind that will save precious young lives and improve quality of life for patients and survivors.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government. Since the Foundation’s first grants as an independent charity in 2005; it has funded more than $78 million in life-saving childhood cancer research.

St. Baldrick’s signature head-shaving events are the fastest growing volunteer-driven fundraising opportunity benefitting childhood cancer research. Participants are surprised how much the experience means to them, and say St. Baldrick’s is the greatest thing they’ve ever done for charity. However, if head shaving isn’t for you, there are many ways to be a hero for kids with cancer.
