St. Baldrick’s Conquer Childhood Cancers Annual Fundraising Event
Please join us once again in 2023 – and be a hero for kids with cancer! We are pleased to have the Rio Rancho Events Center sponsor our event site.
While the 2022 event was a great success, during the pandemic, kids were still being diagnosed with cancer and donations to support research were down drastically. We can change that – and save lives!
We can help the biggest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants do more to speed up the search for cures. Our own University of New Mexico Hospital benefits every year.
Start by signing up as an individual. Set up a team with your friends and co-workers. As firefighters, EMS providers, healthcare workers, retail or restaurant employees… we can make the difference! Whether you decide to shave your head, volunteer to raise money another way, or make a donation, please join us to give kids with cancer the long, healthy lives they deserve.
