The St. Baldrick’s Foundation exists to allow kids and teens to turn their dreams into realities.
They’re at the heart of everything we do — every fundraising event, every shavee or participant, every volunteer, and every donor.

Honored Kids and families are the drive behind St. Baldrick’s’ mission to fund life-saving childhood cancer research. Registering an Honored Kid gives families a platform to share their story, raise awareness, and inspire fundraising from thousands of participants. Many families also fundraise themselves.
The connection between St. Baldrick’s Foundation participants and our Honored Kids moves volunteers to raise more money and awareness, while also comforting families and their children with the knowledge that others are supporting them in the fight.
Every child impacted by cancer has a story worth honoring. Whether you fundraise, share their journey, or spread awareness, your actions help carry their courage forward. There are many ways to get involved!
Each year, five Ambassadors are chosen to represent the thousands of kids affected by childhood cancer across different ages, regions, and diagnoses. Their stories remind us that cancer doesn’t discriminate — and that one in five kids in the U.S. won’t survive. Meet this year’s Ambassadors and read their inspiring stories!
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
In many ways, 7-year-old Sage is a typical first grader who loves superheroes, sports, especially soccer, wrestling, and football (go Iowa Hawkeyes!), hunting, bike riding, playing with cars, and perfecting his newest talent, whistling.
Ewing Sarcoma
Seven-year-old Jackson has a heart of gold. A friend to all, he is witty, smart, adventurous, and athletic. However, his greatest quality is the kindness he shows to everyone he meets.
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma
Aiden was a beautiful, smart, funny, and sweet kid who made an impression on everyone he met. A proud big brother to Jake and Devin, he loved sports, playing chess, and was the lead in his school play, “Seussical”. A Bon Jovi fan, Aiden knew every word to “Living on a Prayer” and wasn’t shy about belting out the tune.
Osteosarcoma
Kaylee is a typical middle schooler who loves dancing, Squishmallows, playing Roblox and Minecraft, watching SpongeBob SquarePants, Disney World, and spending time with her friends and family, especially her sisters, Kylie and Kaitlyn.
Extrarenal Rhabdoid Tumor
Twenty-year-old Morgan loves playing pickleball, traveling, cooking, eating sushi, and spending time with her friends and family.

1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive. Those who do often face lifelong health challenges from treatments that saved their lives. The research funded by the support of people like you has the power to change the future for every child diagnosed with cancer—giving them not just hope, but better treatments and cures for a healthier life.
