Worldwide, 300,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. And in the
U.S., more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease—more than
AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and diabetes combined. So,
to combat this ever-growing problem, on Saturday, April 6, 2018, brothers of the
Pi Chapter hosted a head-shaving event for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
Brothers shaved their
heads to support children
with cancer and brought in
donations by participating
in this amazing organiza-
tion’s event.
This foundation works
closely with leading pedi-
atric oncologists to deter-
mine the most promising
research to fund and create
funding priorities to make
the greatest impact for
children with cancer.
This event is a part of
the movement to help fund
Organizers of Face Off for the Forces—the
annual philanthropy lacrosse games benefiting the the best childhood cancer
Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation —two of research, one shave at a
whom are Betas! time. St. Baldrick’s participants before and after.
