People usually shave their heads, but, when you are genetically blessed with more hair on your face than on your head, you shave your beard!

This is how Ms. Grande described her husband’s efforts to help their community.

The Grandes have known multiple families who lost children to cancer.  As teachers, they have known of many more children who have fought through treatments, some surviving, and some not. In their small community in Saugerties, they know many families are living their own lives in the wake of cancer’s impact.

This local St. Baldrick‘s group has consistently raised an amazing amount of money- over $80,000 a year the past few years – to help infuse children’s cancer research funding, which stagnates at around 4% of total cancer research monies. All cancers and treatments impact kids differently than they do adults, so children need specific consideration and funding.

Will you help? Do you have questions? Head over to Mr. Grande’s fundraising page or check out the FAQ.

DONATE CONFIDENTLY, knowing that of every dollar raised, 72% funds research to find a cure, 25% goes to fundraising and 3% goes to administration. (The primary reasons for this expense ratio pertain to fundraising events, as well as brand awareness and profile building.)

If you can, donate. If you can’t, you can still help: consider sharing this info with someone who can donate, or tell someone about the work St. Baldrick‘s is doing to help our most vulnerable people.
