Dancers,

We are looking for donated items to use in the raffle/silent auction at the St. Baldrick's event on Saturday, February 16th 1:00 pm.   Some of the items that have been popular in the past are:

  • Children's gift baskets
  • Movie gift baskets - DVD's, popcorn, candy
  • Gift cards for:  HEB, Walmart, Restaurants, etc.

To deliver items meet me at a dance or give me a call (325-374-2720) or email me (w7ikt [at] fly-web.us).

Round Dancers started St. Baldrick's activity in the Rio Grande Valley back in 2009 at Texas Trails RV Resort.  We are now partnered with Doctors Hospital at Renaissance and use their convention center.  Seniors are still a big part of the event, involved in raffle, silent auction, photography, leadership etc. 

At last years event we raised over $25,000 for children's cancer research.  Diego and Edith played music before we shaved 51 heads (25% ladies).  We have honored kids, both in treatment and survivors at our event.  

St. Baldrick's supports 'Vannie E. Cook Jr" clinic in McAllen with grants that fund their research nurse.  The clinic treats children with cancer and blood disorders.  No one is turned away.

If you are really brave, sign up to shave and get friends and family to support you with donations.  The round dance team is consistently one of the top teams.  Wayne Chapman (former round Dancer) is signed up to shave, this will be year 11 for Wayne.

The web page for the event is: https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/rgv Place to sign up to shave, donate or volunteer.

Event Location; Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, 118 Paseo Del Prado in Edinburg.
