Stark County Education News: North Canton City Schools and Jackson Local School Come Together

 North Canton and Jackson Coming Together To Kick Off 2024 St. Baldrick’s Campaign

The North Canton and Jackson school districts will officially kick off their 2024 St. Baldrick’s campaigns before tonight’s boys varsity basketball game between the two schools this evening at Jackson High School. There will be a ceremony to recognize childhood cancer survivors and to honor those who passed away from childhood cancer between the Junior Varsity and Varsity Boys games at approximately 6:30 PM. 

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer and donor powered charity committed to supporting the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. Since 2005, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation has raised $340 million to fund 1,803 research grants in 31 countries, with three current grants being funded in Cincinnati, two in Columbus, and two in Cleveland. To learn more about St. Baldrick’s, you can go online to stbaldricks.org.

The Jackson and North Canton school districts collectively raised $220,962 last year and hope to surpass that total this year. If you would like to donate to on behalf of one of the North Canton teams or would like to join one of the teams as a shavee for the March 10th event at the North Canton Racquet Club or as a fundraiser, please use one of the team links below to get started with your donation or to join one of the teams.
