Families Don’t Have to Fight Alone

As a parent, watching your child struggle with chronic illness is hard enough. Brave the Shave gives families more freedom to be there for their child, without worrying about those extra bills.

One-of-A- Kind Support For One-of-A-Kind Needs

Our goal is simple: to raise money, and to give it directly to local families experiencing childhood illness.

After years of supporting childhood cancer research, we joined forces with Helen Devos Children’s Hospital to serve more families, in more ways. Thanks to our partnership with resources teams like PORT and AYA, we now honor families struggling with serious or chronic childhood illness by lessening financial stress however we can.

About Us

Donate

Families are connected to us either through the hospital’s resource teams or through individual donation requests. We ensure that every dollar we raise goes toward easing the financial burden so these families can focus on the most important thing – their child.

The needs of a family can vary – we meet families where they need us most. Your support can help families pay for:

  • Lodging during medical visits
  • Utilities and other home expenses
  • Hefty hospital bills
  • Buying groceries or meals during treatments
  • Comfort items for a child’s hospital room

No need is too small if it means a family can focus on their child’s wellbeing. If you or someone you know is experiencing serious childhood illness, please fill out our application for assistance. We would love to know how we can help make the journey easier.
