Cap for Kids Board of Directors & Staff Members
Board of Directors
Sterling Bailey – Founder, Chairman, President
Sterling Bailey always had a passion for helping those in need – especially children who are fighting cancer. He always found it so incredibly unfair that a child, someone who had done nothing to deserve it, should be made to suffer from something as terrible as cancer. Driven by this passion, Sterling volunteered his time and donated to charities benefiting pediatric cancer research (and patients) but always wanted to do more. In 2013, the idea of Cap for Kids began to coalesce into this concept of Captain America and team bringing hope and cheer to kids with cancer. He formalized and incorporated Cap for Kids as a 501(c)(3) public charity with the primary mission of providing financial and emotional support to families with a child undergoing cancer treatment. When Sterling is not out fundraising, doing character visits or working with sponsored families, you’ll generally find him working his tail off in his full time job as a marketing leader in the software industry.
