Sunday, May 5, 2024 District 23C Shave for the Kids

DISTRICT EVENT

at the Hebron Lions Den, 347 Gilead St, Hebron

Every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. And in the U.S., 1 in 5 will not survive. To learn just how much your support means to kids fighting cancer, check out this short video from Hanna, a St. Baldrick's Honored Kid.

The dollars our event raises make a big impact for kids like Hanna by funding lifesaving research.

Last but not least, here is the event link where you can sign up to raise funds and donate: https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/Hebron2024

Your support is key to providing a cure for our children

Hope in Focus is a nonprofit 501(c)3 patient advocacy organization dedicated to generating awareness, raising funds for research, and providing support, education and outreach to the Leber congenital amaurosis and rare inherited retinal disease community. LCA is a rare inherited retinal disease characterized by severe vision loss at birth. While some children are born with little or no vision, others may have significant vision loss in the first few years of life, stable vision for a period of time, and then eventually complete vision loss as the retina deteriorates into total blindness. We are partnering with the foundation to raise funds to support our mission. When registering please make sure to select "Walk for Hope in Focus" and we will receive 50% of registration fees and 85% of all additional fundraising!
