Research gave Oliver the chance to grow up. 🙏 Now, we can help give future kids an even brighter future.

After being diagnosed with a germ cell tumor in 2011, Oliver now shows no evidence of disease. While that’s incredible news, he continues to face long-term health effects from treatment, including hearing loss and kidney damage. 💔

That's why research can’t stop at finding cures. It must also lead to treatments that are safer, gentler, and give every child the opportunity to live a full, healthy life.

By giving monthly, you’re providing steady support for childhood cancer research that makes stories like Oliver’s possible – and helps write even better ones for children still waiting. ✨

Together, we can help ensure more children not only survive, but thrive: https://ow.ly/i80c50Zp2Nv

A Note from St. Baldrick’s: At the end of 2024, Blinatumomab (Blina) became a groundbreaking addition to frontline treatment for children with standard-risk B-cell ALL. Adding this targeted immunotherapy to traditional chemotherapy increases disease-free survival rates from less than 88% to 96%. Because ALL is the most common childhood cancer, this progress represents many, many lives saved.

Through this clinical trial, researchers and families have also discovered new ways to help kids and caregivers feel more independent during treatment — from smaller, lighter backpacks to protocols that better support life outside the hospital. It’s one more step toward making lifesaving care not just possible, but more livable.

Consider joining the Help Send Childhood Cancer Packing in September (or any other month).

Register to raise money and after you raise $100.00 you will receive a backpack to carry.

Carry it for 28 days or when you walk/run or bike 28 miles and seek donations for childhood cancer research.

Don’t forget to share photos on social media and spread awareness as well.

We’re excited to announce the launch of Send Kids’ Cancer Packing, our new fundraising initiative! 🎒

It’s inspired by a treatment that allows kids with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to receive treatment through a backpack at home over a 28-day cycle. That means less time in the hospital, and more time being kids. 💚

A little more name. A lot more mission. 💚

For more than 25 years, you've helped St. Baldrick's grow from a single head-shaving event into the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants in the U.S.

As our impact has grown, you'll begin seeing a new full organizational name more often:

St. Baldrick's Childhood Cancer Research Foundation

Why? Because it instantly connects our name to the work you make possible: funding better treatments, safer therapies, and cures for kids with cancer.

St. Baldrick's isn't going anywhere. You'll continue to see St. Baldrick's, St. Baldrick's Foundation, and our classic logos—alongside new logo variations featuring our full organizational name.

🍀 Same clover.

💚 Same community.

🎗️ Same mission.
