St. Baldrick's Foundation
A head-shaving fundraiser that became the largest charitable funder of children's cancer research in the US, underwriting much of the cooperative-group trial infrastructure that treats most American children with cancer.
Overview
Started 2000 as a St Patrick's Day challenge; foundation formed 2004. Has granted >$350 million, including core support to the Children's Oncology Group (whose NCI funding covers only part of trial costs), the Pediatric Cancer Dream Team that developed immunotherapy approaches (CAR-T, GD2), the St. Baldrick's-Stand Up To Cancer collaborations, and Supportive Care Research grants. Also funds international scholars to build paediatric oncology capacity in LMICs.
