Every gift is like a drop in the water, creating ripples that extend far beyond what the eye can see. When you give monthly, your generosity doesn’t just make a splash—it sets off a ripple effect that reaches kids with cancer, fuels groundbreaking research, and brings hope to families searching for a cure.
The Power of Monthly Giving
See how your monthly support can create ripples of impact:
- $10 per month: Drives groundbreaking research forward, accelerating the next breakthrough that could save a child’s life.
- $25 per month: Supports the discovery of safer, less toxic treatments, giving survivors a better quality of life.
- $50 per month: Helps fund a medical student’s summer research project, shaping the next generation of pediatric cancer researchers.
- $100 per month: Provides critical support for enrolling children in clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.
The Collective Ripple Effect
When you give to St. Baldrick’s, you’re not supporting just one institution, one researcher, or one type of childhood cancer. You’re fueling the best research taking place across the U.S. and beyond—at every stage, from discovery in the lab to treatments at the bedside. Your gift doesn’t stop at a single ripple; it joins forces with others, creating waves of progress that can change the future for kids with cancer.
The Impact: Austin’s Story
“My son became a part of that statistic when he was 2 years old in 2011. He was diagnosed with the ‘most common and most curable cancer,’ B-cell ALL. He had a more than 80% chance of survival, but his cancer would prove to be not so normal. After relapsing while on treatment, we were forced to pursue a bone marrow transplant. Though he responded extremely well, he unfortunately relapsed two months later. Normally at this stage, there would be no options. Austin had a less than 20% chance of survival and maybe 3-6 months to live. But we were told we did have an option—a phase I clinical trial in Philadelphia involving immunotherapy. Austin qualified and enrolled as the 21st pediatric patient to have engineered T-cells using the HIV virus. He became a pioneer in the cancer research world and, thankfully, is now four years cancer-free as a result. Without the time and money put forth by researchers and donors, my son would not be here today. The future of how our kids are treated and what side effects they may have in the future depends on research. Research is where it all starts.”
