Childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of children in the United States and the St. Baldrick's Foundation is working hard to raise money for cancer research. St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. To date they have raised over $68 million and shaved over 106,000 heads in support of their cause. Participants can create a team, or shave as an individual and ask for donations of support from friends or family to pledge to the cause. This year's event is on Sat., March 13, 2010, held here at Preble High School. In addition to the shaving, there will be a silent auction, a raffle, food and beverages for purchase, and kids' games. Please think about supporting this great cause, whether it be by shaving your head or simply donating!
