Tonight is going to be FUN!
The mission of the St. Baldrick's Foundation is to raise awareness and funds to cure childhood cancer. Participants shave their heads in exchange for donations towards research. It is a simple concept, a fun time and a very effective fundraiser -
In 2005, we created TeamBrent to honor our son by fighting alongside him. Over the past three years TeamBrent has shaved over 500 heads and raised $767 thousand for childhood cancers through St Baldrick's. Let's continue to make a difference and have some fun while we do it.
Join us Thursday March 13th at the Bear & Grill in Fairfield.

- There are no reserved shaving times. Shaving will be done via a queue, first come, first serve. The Total Look will have 18 stylists working hard, so expect some wait, but to have fun in the process.

Bald for a cause - from the Boston event:
Celtic's Brian Scalabrine shaved his head to help raise awareness for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which has raised more than $34 million for child cancer research with head shavings in 18 countries. Scalabrine was shaved Thursday and also shaved heads as part of a TeamBrent event.
"My wife is all good with it," he said. "She knows it's for a good cause. But my daughter was a little scared. She'll be turning 1 in a few weeks.
"She crawled right away from me, looking back scared. But by the time I came back from shootaround [yesterday], she was all good with it."
