From the St. Baldrick's website ...
What would you look like bald? You'd look like a hero for kids with cancer! Shaving your head is a great way to show your support for kids undergoing chemotherapy treatment while raising funds for life-saving research. How does it work? Register online, post a photo of yourself with hair, send an email to friends and family to solicit donations of support, and then go to an event where you'll have your head shaved!
Thank you for partnering with the St. Baldrick's Foundation as together we fight to eliminate childhood cancers! Thanks to many volunteers like you, last year was another record-breaking year for St. Baldrick's. Here's just a glimpse at some of the great strides made in 2007:
- 402 head-shavings took place in 46 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and 13 countries.
- More than 18,000 shavees volunteered to participate in head-shaving events.
- Over $12.8 million was raised to fund research for childhood cancers.
- 2,142 female shavees proved to the public that bald is truly beautiful-more than doubling the number of female shavees from 2006.
- Four U.S. states held their first St. Baldrick's events in 2007, increasing volunteers, donations, and awareness for children with cancer.
Mr. Miller and Mr. Teague would like to thank the members of the North High Band, their families, and the members of the DGN Alumni Band for their support of our fund-raiser. We are very proud of the band's support of this important charity, and encourage others to consider becoming involved in the future.
