Would you shave your head for a child?



Participants in a St. Baldrick’s event shave their heads in exchange for donations towards research. It’s a simple concept, a fun time and a very effective fundraiser. The Foundation funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government.



TeamBrent is going Old School!!!!! It is our 8th annual event, and we want to revisit our roots and celebrate the bravery of those going under the clippers. We are keeping it simple – a stage, head shaving, head painting, bone marrow drive, music and great photos. It is going to be loads of fun. Sunday April 1st @ Tomlinson Middle School in Fairfield. We are really looking forward to it.

We will be kicking off the celebration the night before with our long time partners, the Sound Tigers. Join us March 31 for St. Baldrick’s night at the Sound Tigers game (Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard). Tickets are $19 each if ordered by Friday March 16th & 21% of each discounted ticket will support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. We will not be shaving heads at the game.




All area schools and organizations are welcome to get involved. There are opportunities to have group leaders compete in a tricycle race on ice; have kids hold the huge American flag during the national anthem; ride on the Zamboni; go on ice to pick up the Chuck a Puck; and have a table on the concourse. Please contact Sarah with the Sound Tigers at 203-345-4823 for information.




Join us Sat. night Mar 31 to watch the game, then come Sunday and go bald!

We were thrilled to register almost 100 people at our 2011 event as new Bone Marrow donors, thanks to Be the Match. They service patients who need a matching unrelated donor willing to donate stem cells on their behalf for a transplant.
