Mom's Choice Award Winner--Silver!Cutting Class: The St. Baldrick’s Story of Christian Academy of Louisville Rock Creek. It is a story that comes from the hearts of children to help others afflicted with childhood cancer.
When popular children's book authors, Martin & Delia Wach, gave a writing and illustrating workshop as part of the Headline Books School Show Program at Rock Creek Campus in Louisville, KY they became engulfed in the story of love and outreach by the school. The result is a proud collaboration between the students, their teachers, the Wachs and Headline Books.
These students experienced the devastation of cancer first hand when one of their own was diagnosed with hepatoblastama, a rare childhood cancer. She had chemotherapy treatment and as a result, her hair fell out. Her fellow students and teachers rallied around her by participating in St. Baldrick's Day at their school. With a goal of $10,000 to be raised—these energetic and caring children, teachers and parents raised over $33,000 for research to cure childhood cancers!
The school school plans to donate 100% of their net earnings to the St. Baldrick's Foundation as an ongoing project to raise money for research for childhood cancer.
