"Be Brave & Go Bald'' for Local Kids Fighting Cancer About St. Baldrick's Day The mission of the St. Baldrick's Foundation is to raise awareness and funds to cure kids' cancer by supporting cancer research and fellowships. St. Baldrick's began as a challenge among friends and has grown into the world's largest fundraising event for childhood cancer. Since its inception in 2000, St. Baldrick's has raised more than $34 million for the cause, shaved over 46,000 heads in 18 countries and 46 US states! Worldwide, 170,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer each year and despite tremendous progress, cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada. Since 2003, KRM has raised over $700,000 at local St. Baldrick's celebrations and shorn over 800 heads! KRM hosts the 3rd largest St. Baldrick's celebration in the nation.
