When one of their own was diagnosed with neuroblastoma fourteen years ago, the “Brave the Shave” event was started to help find a cure. The battle has continued, establishing a cherished tradition within the school and community. The school is comprised of 2,000+ students. Its own Warriors have been affected. Statistics show one in five children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive. Those who do survive often suffer long-term effects from treatment too harsh for their developing bodies. As the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants, St. Baldrick’s Foundation is leading the charge to take childhood back from cancer. The community is invited to come join the effort.
