St. Baldrick's Foundation
A volunteer-powered charity, born from a head-shaving dare in 2000, that says it funds more childhood cancer research grants than any organisation besides the US government.
Overview
St. Baldrick's began as a head-shaving event among colleagues in 2000 and became a foundation whose thousands of volunteer-run shave events fund childhood cancer research. The foundation states that it funds more grants than any organisation besides the US government, that every grant it makes is for childhood cancer research, and that it keeps staff small and expenses low so that every possible dollar goes to research. Its grants support fellows, scholars, consortium research and infrastructure such as the Children's Oncology Group. Headquartered in Monrovia, California.
