St. Baldrick's - 5th Annual RSM Event

Sign up as a shavee, volunteer or just come to cheer participants on! 

St. Baldrick’s Foundation began as a challenge among friends and has grown into the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Because the treatment typically given causes patients hair to fall out, volunteers are recruited to shave their heads to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer in return for pledges of financial support. You can be a part of the “buzz” by supporting an event that could save the lives of children battling cancer.

2012 marks the 5th Annual RSM Event and we hope to make it our biggest year ever!  In just 4 short years, the RSM Event has shaved 887 heads and raised $314,500.00. This event has also strengthened the community and provided an opportunity for school-age children to learn and be a part of making a difference.  Our 2012 goal is $185,000+, which will put us over a half million dollars raised to date.
