The Southern Nevada Sons of Erin and the City of Henderson Cultural Arts & Tourism department are pleased to announce that proceeds from the 2012 parade and festival will benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation. The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. Every year, hundreds of people from across the Las Vegas Valley shave their heads to raise money and show support for these young cancer patients.
