The mission of St. Baldrick's Foundation is to raise awareness to cure kids' cancer by supporting cancer research and fellowships. 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!

The Sanford Fire Department began supporting this foundation in 2006 and have the event each year in July. To learn more about this foundation and events visit www.stbaldricks.org.
