We will be doing a live show starting at 6:30pm complete with interviews with St. Baldrick's Board Members, pediatric oncologist who have benefited from St. Baldrick's funding, and families that have been effected from this awful disease.

Poirier choose St. Baldrick's because it keeps its cost low and the transparent spending they have show case exactly how my donations are being spent. With only 3% of the foundations money going towards administration St. Baldrick's is a donation where your dollar is being spent on life saving research.

There is a dire need to fund cures that are safer and more effective for each child. Although less common in children, cancer has the effect of taking years away from children that they could be going to school, making friends, playing sports, getting married and having families of their own.

In these difficult times this year St. Baldrick's has lost millions of dollars because in person events that thrive for this organization have not been able to be held.

So Medfield TV has stepped up to host a live broadcast, and we need your help to either participate or donate to our event HERE!
