St. Baldricks event at CU helps fight against cancer St. Baldrick's group expects event at Powell Athletic Center to surpass $150,000 mark for 4 year total this year.Find Your Venue as easily as you Find Your Calling at Campbellsville University, including Powell Athletic Center, 203 Tiger Way, formerly Underwood ST complete with Name, Street Number, Activities and Photo in Directory of Facilities, by Linda Waggener, CU Marketing and Media Relations Coordinator Click on headline for story plus photo By Richard RoBards, St. Baldrick's Public Relations The fourth St. Baldrick's Shaving for a Cure event will be held at Powell Athletic Center, 203 Tiger Way formerly Underwood ST (MAP), Campbellsville, KY, from 11am-1pmET/10am noon CT, on Saturday, March 26, 2011. Sixty barbers and volunteers have contributed to the success locally of the "Shaving for a Cure" event, according to Donna Wise, event coordinator. Most importantly, the community's commitment of $55,000 raised in 2008, $35,000 in 2009 and $35,000 in 2010 points to their understanding of the significance of St. Baldrick's, said Wise. More than $125,000 has been raised in three years. Wise expects the $150,000 total to be surpassed this year. In three years more than 300 men and women in our community have shaved their heads bald to show solidarity to children with cancer and to raise money for childhood cancer research. Every three minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer and one in five will die. Those shaving their heads will be enthusiastically cheered by crowds of friends, family, doctors, nurses, children and others who have been touched by cancer to further awareness to the fact that pediatric cancer, the No. 1 disease killer of children, is terribly under-funded. The St. Baldrick's Foundation raises money and awareness globally for childhood cancer research through volunteer-driven events that pair great fun with this worthy cause. At these events, participants shave their heads in front of cheering supporters to experience themselves one of the most stigmatizing public aspects of cancer- losing one's hair from chemotherapy treatment. About the St. Baldrick's Foundation The St. Baldrick's Foundation makes grants to research institutions to find new cures for childhood cancer, and to find treatments to ensure a better quality of life for patients and survivors. The foundation funds research projects conducted by established pediatric cancer experts, as well as younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow. Funds also enable hundreds of local institutions to participate in national pediatric cancer clinical trials, offering the best available care for every child. The St. Baldrick's Foundation is grateful to its many volunteers (bald or not!). Visit To participate at St. Baldrick's website to participate. This story was posted on 2011-02-05 06:34:41
