St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the leading funder of childhood cancer research, has driven impactful change in Greenville, SC, through vibrant head-shaving events and targeted grants. Annual gatherings like our St Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival at NOMA Square rally hundreds of volunteers, shaving heads in solidarity while raising vital funds for innovative treatments. Notably, the organization has awarded multiple $50,000 infrastructure grants (in 2020, 2022, and 2024) to Bon Secours St. Francis Cancer Center—the only SC recipient—to hire coordinators expanding clinical trials for young patients, keeping life-saving care local and reducing travel burdens amid challenges like COVID-19. St. Baldrick's website has a lot of great information about the work they're doing to make research happen for children with cancer.
