This episode is with Shamaila Taj, the Marketing Director for the Taj Team Leader group in Southern California. In this interview, Shamaila explains what inspired her to coordinate a Shave-A-Thon, the process for becoming a Volunteer Event Organizer with the St. Baldrick's Foundation and the emotional impact of also participating as a shavee. As the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation believes that kids are special and deserve to be treated that way. St. Baldrick’s funds are granted to some of the most brilliant childhood cancer research experts in the world and to innovative explorers who bring with them the promise of a future free from childhood cancers. Kids need treatments as unique as they are – and that starts with funding research just for them. In 2016, Sport Clips Haircuts proudly signed on as St. Baldrick’s’ first National Partner, committing to give more than $1 million in support of childhood cancer research over the next three years. In 2019, we recommitted our efforts and will donate another $1 million to the organization over the next 3 years.
