St. Baldrick's - Shaving the Way to Conquer Kids' Cancer
The world's largest volunteer-based fundraising effort to combat childhood cancer. In nine years, the shaving of more than 72,000 heads
has occurred in 18 countries and 48 states, raising more than $50 million. It's your turn - be a shaver, a shavee or a supporter.
Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007
The Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007 is a landmark piece of legislation which authorizes $150 million over a five-year period
to expand support for biomedical research programs of the existing National Cancer Institute-designated multi-center national
infrastructure for pediatric cancer research, establish a population-based national childhood cancer registry, enable researchers to more
accurately study the incidence of childhood cancers and long-term effects of treatments, and provide funding for informational and
educational services to families coping with a diagnosis of childhood cancer.

The Giving Dolls
Until they all have a loving home
These dolls, both boy and girl, are handmade by volunteers, and each deserves a loving home, not just someplace to go and be tossed
in a closet. If you are the parent of a child with a life-threatening challenge and think that your child would truly enjoy receiving one of these
special friends, please contact The Giving Dolls at househj@hotmail.com. Very soft and cuddly, a good companion for those tough days
(and the good ones too).
Bone Marrow Drive
You can help save a life in 15 minutes by joining the National Marrow Donor Program registry. Will you help? It's so simple to join the
National Registry - fill out some paperwork with your medical history and have a cotton swab twirled in your mouth 4 times. Just think of
how many lives (often young children) could be saved if we all did this. Nationally, there is a specific need for minority registrants. Just
check the website to find a registry drive near you.
