St. Baldrick's Foundation

Thanks to your unified #advocacy, the Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act (AKACA) was passed unanimously by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Now, we need your help to get it through the House and Senate. This bill will ease the regulatory challenges for children with complex medical needs to access out-of-state care. Take action now and urge your members of #Congress to support AKACA and pass it this year: https://ow.ly/fEPv50TjuCy

Sport Clips Haircuts, our national partner, is dedicated to its “Haircuts with Heart” philosophy, blending a passion for hair with a commitment to #philanthropy and #community support. Dawn Hendricks, a Sport Clips stylist and store manager in Raleigh, NC, exemplifies this philosophy. ? In 2007, after learning that a salon client’s daughter, who passed away from childhood cancer, sparked the start of a local Canton, OH, event, Dawn was inspired to #volunteer her barber services at the event, aiming to make a positive impact on kids with #cancer. This became an annual tradition for Dawn and her salon crew until her father's passing from cancer, which shifted her role from barber to shavee in his honor. Even after moving to Raleigh, Dawn remained involved. When she joined Sport Clips and discovered its partnership with St. Baldrick’s, she began volunteering at a local event. Dawn's years of involvement is further showcased through tattoos, sparking conversations and raising awareness. Thank you, Dawn, for starting a ripple that will create the next wave of cures for kids with cancer. ?? #volunteers

Today marks day 5 of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. Families like Julianna's (aka Juju) often face the heart-wrenching decision to uproot or separate to access the care their child battling cancer needs. This was the situation Juju’s family feared when she relapsed this year. In the midst of difficult decisions, one small relief was that they could choose a treatment close to home, allowing them to stay together. Your donations make more clinical trials available for kids not just at big #research institutions, but at hundreds of hospitals closer to home. When you donate to St. Baldrick's, you’re creating a ripple effect that brings hope for cures to children everywhere.
