I've a couple of healthy sons, Luke and Jake. Others aren't so lucky. Help us support the kids and their heroic families in their fight against the scourge of childhood cancer. 

I first did this about 13 years ago, as an offshoot of an old college St. Pat's Party, after reading of one six-year old named Liam who lost his courageous battle with cancer. Within that same year, Luke's friend - also named Liam - contracted cancer, and we came back to do it again. 

As kids' cancer is still around, so are we. Let's make this the most successful event in our history. The St. Baldrick's Foundation has raised over $200 Million nationally. We have raised over $60,000 in our local events. Help us make this the most successful year ever! 

One year we had 20 Shavees, including a crew from the St. Peter's Prep rugby team (how 'bout it Prep community?) and a handful of cops from the burbs (any police officers or firefighters out there for this year?) 

Please DONATE. Consider really throwing down - BRAVE THE SHAVE - and get friends and family to sponsor your getting shorn in solidarity with the kids. Please also become a voice for the cause by SHARING THIS PAGE with all you can. 

SPESH! will be there to give everybody a new clean, sleek look for Spring!

And ... we'll have live music by The Rambunctious Boys, and Guy Gettens and Undercover; food and drink specials; and a great, fun, family crowd at Northern Soul on March 11th. Marc, Rosa, Seamus and the NoSo team have been generous partners in the past, and we're glad to be returning there. We're also very thankful for all the local merchants who have thrown their support behind the cause - give them a pat on the back when you see them and make a bid or two on silent auction items. Hope to see you on March 11th. Slainte!
