When one of its own was diagnosed with neuroblastoma 11 years ago, Riverdale started the “Brave the Shave” event to help find a cure. They have since continued the battle and established a cherished tradition among the school and community. 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.
