Five Republic FC Players Set to Support Childhood Cancer Research
April 22, 2022 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release
On Monday, April 25, a group of Republic FC players will help the club support local childhood cancer research at Mulvaney's B&L on 19th Street in Midtown. From 5 - 8P.M., five of Sacramento's first-teamers - Carlos Saldana, Danny Vitiello, Dan Casey, Duke Lacroix, and Douglas Martinez - will all join St. Baldrick's Head Shave Party to shave their heads and bring awareness to childhood cancer.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation hosts hundreds of events a year in all 50 states and 28 countries globally, each with the theme of shaving heads to raise money for the nearly 300,000 children affected by childhood cancer worldwide. Since 2005, the foundation has made possible more than $300 million in research grant funding, and has raised as much as $27 million in a single year. Tuesday's will contribute to the $60,000 and counting raised by its participants, and to the proceeds from over 40 other events already held this year around the country. Republic FC last participated in the event in 2020.
Alongside St. Baldricks, Mulvaney's is hosting this year's event in partnership with Keaton's Childhood Cancer Alliance, a Roseville-based organization whose efforts support children with cancer and their families by providing emotional, educational and financial assistance. Republic FC supporters, led by Tower Bridge Battalion, have already organized a group that's donated over $1,000 to the event.
