COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Did you know there is something you can do to help the fight against childhood cancer?

Each year 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. But research saves lives, and that is where the St. Baldrick's Foundation comes in.

Locally, the good people of Elope, Inc. (a hat and novelty company) are once again the driving force to make a difference in this fight. They work to give children a chance at that miracle they so desperately hope for as staff shaves their way to conquer kids' cancer.

Nationally, the St. Baldrick's Foundation has raised nearly $42 million.

In their ninth year, the "Laughing Ladies" and Elope hope to inspire others to help and pass their goal of $1 million.

There are different locations around town over several dates. To find out how to help, click stbaldricks.org to find out  how to make a difference.
