Someone thought of you this Halloween — and they did something pretty special.
In your honor, they made a donation to the St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer Research Foundation to help fund research for kids with cancer.
So, while your BOO may have come with a sweet treat or Halloween surprise, the real gift is helping researchers find better treatments and cures — so kids with cancer can get back to being kids.
A Gift in Your Honor Helps Fuel the Research Kids Need
At St. Baldrick’s, we believe the best way to fight childhood cancer is with research.
And we don’t focus on just one type of childhood cancer or one hospital. As the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants in the U.S., St. Baldrick’s supports the most promising research wherever it can make the biggest impact — across childhood cancers and every stage of discovery, from new ideas in the lab to lifesaving clinical trials.
For more than 25 years, that funding has helped fuel progress across the field, playing a role in virtually every major advancement in childhood cancer research.
And that research is making an impact.
Today, more children are surviving cancer than ever before. But for too many kids, treatments still don’t work — or come with serious side effects that can follow them for the rest of their lives.
That’s why research can’t stop.
Every discovery brings us closer to treatments that are more effective, less toxic and designed specifically for kids.

It’s About More Than a Cure
Research can mean another birthday.
Another Halloween costume.
Another soccer game, sleepover or family vacation.
More ordinary days of school, friends, laughter and growing up.
Because ultimately, childhood cancer research isn’t just about helping kids survive cancer.
It’s about giving them more childhood — and more of the future they deserve.
