Event Details

Firefighters shaving heads to help kids diagnosed with cancer. Community invited to March 16 event at Fire Station 1, where they can eat lunch, have fun, and watch Downey firefighters and others get their heads shaved. The St. Baldrick's Foundation has issued a lofty challenge to everyone who wants to help raise money for childhood cancer research: be a hero for children with cancer by participating in any of the 300-plus head-shaving fundraisers that will be held nationwide this year, including one in Downey. Downey firefighters will again host a St. Baldrick's fundraiser on Sunday March 16, shaving their heads in an effort to raise money for the non- profit organization. The event will be held at Fire Station 1, 12222 Paramount Blvd., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be food, music and fun for all ages. Since its inception in 2000, St. Baldrick's has raised more than $20 million for the research of childhood cancer. Because cancer treatment given to children typically causes their hair to fall out, volunteers are recruited to have their heads shaved in public in return for pledges of financial support. Downey firefighters have set a goal of $20,000. Money raised at the event will be donated to St. Baldrick's, with a portion going to help a local family who has a child with cancer.
