My oldest son, Dustin, is shaving his head to raise money for childhood cancer. The event takes place March 16th at a pep rally at his school where he is a high school math teacher and Varsity Soccer Coach. His goal is to raise at least $2000 dollars. If you would like to make a contribution go to www.stbaldricks.org and under "shavee" type in Dustin DeFrates.
What is St. Baldrick's?
St. Baldrick's began as a casual conversation between friends and has exploded into the world's biggest volunteer-driven fundraising program for childhood cancer! In nine years, events have taken place in 18 countries and 48 US states, raising over $50 million, and shaving more than 72,000 heads.
St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family.
At a St. Baldrick's event, something amazing happens. People who normally shy away from the very thought of childhood cancer find themselves compelled to support this cause after looking into the face of these brave children who are smiling broadly as their friends and family members proudly display their newly shorn heads.
Volunteers and donors see it can be fun to support a serious cause. Young cancer patients and survivors see how many people care. And researchers see St. Baldrick's funds helping to find cures!
Any contribution will be greatly appreciated! Thank you...
Julie :D
