OVER TWO DOZEN MEN AND WOMEN TO SHAVE HEADS BALD TO RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH AT RI RA IRISH PUB IN PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND
What would you look like bald?
Like a hero to kids with cancer, says the St. Baldrick’s Foundation
Over two dozen men and women are expected to shave their heads bald to show solidarity to children with cancer and to raise money for childhood cancer research on September 30th at 7pm at Ri Ra Irish Pub, 50 Exchange Terrace, Providence RI.
Those shaving their heads will be enthusiastically cheered on by crowds of friends, family, doctors, nurses, children and others who have been touched by cancer to further awareness to the fact that pediatric cancer,
the #1 disease killer of children, is terribly under-funded.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation raises money and awareness globally for childhood cancer research through volunteer-driven events that pair great fun with this worthy cause. At these events, participants shave their heads in front of cheering supporters to experience themselves one of the most stigmatizing public aspects of cancer- losing one’s hair from chemotherapy treatment.
