One of our Streams’ Dads, Sam Kane, has been organizing a fundraising event that benefits pediatric cancer research for 16 years. This year’s event hits closer to home and is dedicated to the Brooks Murphy Family. It is a unique fundraiser where participants have their heads shaved, in solidarity and support of kids who may lose their hair during cancer treatment.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation is the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, granting over $340 million USD in childhood cancer research since 2005.
Since its start, locally more than $1 million USD has been granted to UPMC Children’s Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh for life-saving research.
WHO: Anyone who wants to either pledge to having their head shaved, attend the event, or donate on-line
WHAT: Fundraiser for pediatric cancer research
WHEN: Saturday, March 16th 10:00am-NOON
WHERE: Primanti Brothers-Mt. Lebanon Washinton Rd Primanti Bros. in Mount Lebanon, PA - 1539 Washington Road | Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar
WHY: St. Badrick’s mission: 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.
Event link is below. Anyone can create their own fundraising team or join Sam Kane’s team, “Brooks’ Buddies” if people want to sign up to have a free haircut or donate.
