TestPros Supports St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer Foundation

by

March 2018 – TestPros is proud to be a St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer fundraising sponsor once again. St. Baldrick’s has grown to become one of the world’s largest fundraisers for childhood cancer research. Money is raised by volunteers collecting pledges in return for having their heads shaved. The money goes to support cancer research, while the shorn heads show support for the thousands of children who have lost their hair because of cancer treatments. The name St. Baldrick’s is a combination of going bald for cancer support and St. Patrick’s Day, which is when their head-shaving events take place around the world.
