The 46 Mommas are women from across the United States whose children were diagnosed with cancer. Some of these children have died, some have survived and others are still in treatment. In 2010 the original team came together from across the country and met in Hollywood, CA to shave their heads as a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Our second annual event took place in Washington, D.C. on September 21, 2011, with a new class of Mommas. After shaving, the Mommas visited their Congressional representatives on Capitol Hill to advocate for legislative change on behalf of their children. Our third annual shave will take place at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles, CA on July 29th, 2012.
The 46 mommas represent the mothers of all children diagnosed with cancer.
We ARE 46 Mommas on a mission to raise awareness, raise funds for research and inspire others to help fund a cure for childhood cancer.
Each year a new class of 46 Mommas is inducted into the cause to empower and engage mothers of children with cancer. The number 46 is significant. On average, each weekday, 46 families receive the news that their child has cancer. Through increasing awareness of childhood cancer and raising funds for childhood cancer research by shaving our heads, we hope to one day be a group that no longer needs to exist.
