Courage, compassion, and community spirit were on full display at Grissom Middle School as students and staff shaved their heads to support childhood cancer research during the school’s March St. Baldrick’s fundraiser.

With the support of an incredibly generous school community, Grissom raised more than $17,000 for childhood cancer research.

A special shout-out goes out to:

  • Grissom’s shavees and their families
  • Grissom’s St. Baldrick’s Committee
  • Stylists from Sports Clips and other local stylists
  • Julia's Legacy of Hope

Thanks to the dedication of its volunteers and the strong support of the Grissom school community, our St. Baldrick’s event continues to make a meaningful difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
