St. Baldrick's Wrap Up

Another year of fundraising for Team Melchiorre is complete.  Our sons Michael and Rudy 3 raised just over $195,000 with $3,400 donated from Clara's thanks to all of your donations and purchase of our Lemon Delight dessert.

Michael found St. Baldrick's after Clara's brother Willie died suddenly of cancer and after meeting a young boy his age that was fighting leukemia.  Those two experience left him wanting to do something more so he decided to shave his head to bring awareness to the unique challenges childhood cancer brings.  We found out that only 4% of all federal cancer research dollars are dedicated to child cancers so organizations like St. Baldrick's are there to fill in that gap.

Since that time, our friends, family and customers have provided tremendous support to Michael and his brother Rudy efforts.  We thank all of you and look forward to next year!
