About St. Baldrick's Foundation
The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer and donor powered charity committed to supporting the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
It started with a friendly dare: would you shave your head to raise money for kids’ cancer research? What happened next would change the world. This bold act of baldness has gained major momentum, since its start in 2000. Today, we have more than 1,000 head-shaving events taking place around the world at pubs, restaurants, schools, churches, parks, firehouses, military bases – you name it. Volunteers also raise funds through athletic challenges, livestream fundraisers and many other activities
St. Baldrick's Foundation Scholar (Career Development) Award

Recipients are called St. Baldrick's Scholars. Up to $110,000/year, three-year minimum.
