Manteno St. Baldrick's Event

Manteno St. Baldrick's Event The Annual Manteno St. Baldrick's head shaving event to support pediatric cancer research will be held on March 14, 2020 at 2 P.M. St.

Baldrick’s Day will look a little different this year. We’re moving things to the Fall. Baldrick’s is an annual charity head shaving event that raises money to support pediatric cancer research. For the third straight year, the Manteno Sportsman's Club edition of St. Baldrick’s will take place at the Manteno Sportsman’s Club on March 12, 2022. The opening ceremonies will begin at 2 P.M. The day wi

ll be filled with music, raffles, food, drink, and head shaving. Baldrick’s is a charitable organization that provides support for pediatric cancer research through grants that are awarded to doctors working to advance the fight against pediatric cancers. Pediatric cancer is a severely underfunded area of cancer research. Only 4% of federal cancer research funding goes towards pediatric cancer. In fact, there have only been a few instances of the development of new pediatric cancer drugs in the last 30 years. Over the last 9 years, the Manteno Sportsman's event raised almost $700,000. The event will once again draw support from The Paul Mitchell Beauty School based in Bradley, IL. The students and staff from Paul Mitchell will be handling all of the heavy work of shaving the heads of all of this year’s participants. We are looking for participants to raise funds and shave their heads to show support to children affected by cancer. If you are not in the head shaving mood, you can still support this year’s event by sponsoring another shavee, volunteering to help at the event, or donating a basket for our raffle auction. If you are interested in getting involved to you can register as a shavee or as a volunteer at https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/Manteno2021. You can also get involved by contacting Tony Worsham at (815) 954-7326 or at [email protected]
