STILL looking for sponsors!
Somewhere tonight . . .
there are parents hoping against hope
and praying to God that they won't hear
that dreaded word: "cancer"
from their child's doctor tomorrow.
With your help, we may see a day
when that never has to happen again.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation makes grants to research institutions to find new cures for childhood cancer, and to find treatments to ensure a better quality of life for patients and survivors. The Foundation funds research projects conducted by established pediatric cancer experts, as well as younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow. Funds also enable hundreds of local institutions to participate in national pediatric cancer clinical trials, offering the best available care for every child.
This is my fifth year of shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. I've set a goal of a thousand dollars from friends like you guys who are supporting my tonsorial madness by sponsoring me in this year's St. Baldrick's Day head shaving for kids with cancer. THANK YOU to everyone who has taken time out of their busy day - and dollars out of their wallets - to help me in the fight against childhood cancers. Right now, I'm almost there, with $866 pledged.
At St. Baldrick’s events, volunteers get bald to raise money and stand in solidarity with kids who typically lose their hair during cancer treatments. Since the first head-shaving event on St. Patrick’s Day in 2000, St. Baldrick’s has contributed more than $50.5 million dollars to pediatric cancer research and held events around the globe. In fact, St. Baldrick's Foundation is second only to the United States government in monies given to fund grants for pediatric cancer research, and Team Brent, of which I am a part, is the number one fund raising team in the nation.
If you are interested in becoming a "shavee", participating as a barber, or just want to learn more, please visit stbaldricks.org
Or, if you can find it in your heart (or wallet, or pocketbook) to sponsor me in my journey, please visit www.stbaldricks.org/participants/donorlist/participantid/414808
and click on the big, green "Make a Donation" box.
Thank you so, so much for your interest and thank you all for your continued support!
Love,

Bette, you are a special person to do this and brave! I donated and it would be great if all the banders could donate even just a little bit, it all adds up!
Done. :-)
ETA: Notice you're only $109.00 from your goal! Bette, how much money have you raised for kids with cancer over the years through St. Baldricks? They are fortunate to have such a dedicated participant, and one who looks pretty damn good bald!
