- “Gavin Clay of Louisville, Ohio is not your average 13-year-old. When his classmate was diagnosed with pediatric cancer in fifth grade, Gavin knew he had to help any way he could so he rallied his classmates and teachers to raise money for St. Baldrick’s Foundation, an organization that raises funds to help find cures for children with cancer. Every year, Gavin shaves his head in solidarity with pediatric chemo patients and has so far helped raise over $32,000. In addition to his volunteer work, Gavin meets with community organizations regularly to educate them on pediatric cancer and the importance of raising funds.”
