The St. Baldrick’s Foundation raises money for childhood cancer research with head-shaving events in Las Vegas and Henderson. So far in 2011, eight events have been held, raising more than $464,500, with donations still coming.

Participants stand in solidarity with the more than 160,000 children diagnosed with cancer each year, who typically lose their hair during cancer treatments, and raise awareness and money for vital research.

The first St. Baldrick’s event in Las Vegas took place in 2007. Since then, more than $1.4 million has been raised.
