The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the nation’s largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants, is proud to announce the newest round of research grants, named for St. Baldrick’s Hero Funds, totaling more than $400,000. Four grants were awarded across four different states to continue the most promising childhood cancer research.

These grants are made possible by the ongoing efforts of St. Baldrick’s volunteers and thousands of generous donors, including the families who have started St. Baldrick’s Hero Funds to support the discovery of new cures and treatments for childhood cancers.

“With research, there is hope,” says Kathleen Ruddy, St. Baldrick’s Foundation CEO. “Through the continuous support from St. Baldrick’s Hero Funds, volunteers and donors, we move forward in our Foundation’s mission to fund the very best childhood cancer research that leads to cures.”
