The St. Baldrick's Foundation is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. At St. Baldrick's events all throughout the year, brave volunteers shave their heads, raising funds for research. Like runners in a marathon, "shavees" collect donations from family, friends and associates. The Foundation receives these funds and makes grants to research experts to find new and better treatments for fighting kids’ cancer.

Keaton Raphael Memorial is the host and event organizers for both the Roseville and Sacramento events. Founder of The Keaton Raphael Memorial, Robyn Raphael says….“Shaving my head in 2003 in honor of my son Keaton, remains one of the highlights of my life. I gave only hair, Keaton gave his life!” KRM is a local childhood cancer organization established in 1998 that raises funds to assist local childhood cancer families and childhood cancer research.

Since 2003, KRM has shaved thousands of heads! This year will mark the 8th Annual St. Baldrick’s Celebrations KRM has hosted. The Keaton Raphael Memorial hosts some of the largest St. Baldrick’s celebrations in the nation!

In 2009, 565 heads were shaved (35 women) and a total of $125,887 was raised collectively.

Please support our Northern California families by shaving your head and raising money to help find a cure! http://www.deverespub.com/stbaldricksday/
