St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity for funding research to cure childhood cancers. It started on St Patrick's Day 2000, when 17 volunteers agreed to shave their heads to fundraise. The event brought in more than $100,000, and the founders knew this was a successful venture. Today, more than 144,000 volunteers have gone hairless for charity, raising in excess of $87 million.
