Also in attendance was Assemblyman Michael Durso (far right) and Congressman Andrew Garbarino (third from right). The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to funding research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. Participants raise funds and commit to shaving their heads in a display of solidarity with children affected by cancer who have lost their hair during treatment. Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s events nationwide have helped raise $314 million for lifesaving childhood cancer research.
