St. Baldrick’s info

I’m doing some more research into St. Baldrick’s while I wait for someone to say “Yes, I’ll sponsor you.” The BBB’s Give.org site has a recent report on the Foundation: they met 19 out of 20 Standards for Charity Accountability: the one they missed was the Detailed Functional Breakdown of Expenses. Their response was that their auditors had reviewed their expenses and deemed them appropriate: in future years, they will submit the requested breakdown. 88% of the money given went to childhood leukemia programs, primarily the Children’s Oncology Group.

Happy St. Baldrick’s day?

My cousin, Kevin, died in his early teens of leukemia. I’m thinking of getting my head shaved next month as part of the St. Baldrick’s Day event in his memory. Would any of my readers like to commit to a donation? If so, just comment with the yes: we’ll discuss amounts later, if I actually sign up.
