Would you shave your head for a child? Participants in a St. Baldrick’s event shave their heads in exchange for donations towards fighting childhood cancers. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation funds more childhood cancer research grants than any other organization except the U.S. government. Doors open @ 11, Opening Ceremonies @ 1130am, featuring Sportscaster Deb Placey & St B's Board Member Mike McCreesh. Head Painting by Once Upon a Face Paint & Faces by Wells, entertainment by DJ E-Train, bone marrow drive, bake sale, Legos and head shaving will continue until 1:30pm. Ten years ago, a dozen TeamBrenters, all men, met at a bar in Stamford on St. Patrick’s day and raised $87,000 to shave their heads. Brent was home from the hospital for the day, and it was the first time his parents had left him in six months. Since then, we have watched the event grow, enjoying the Field, the Bear & Grill, the Arena at Harbor Yard & the Fairfield Schools. We have discovered head painting and watched as dozens of other events have sprouted and grown. It is amazing. We no longer have to explain what we are doing, the words “St. Baldrick’s” are known to many. People no longer think we are crazy. We have had to move the event from a bar on St Patrick’s day to midday on a Sunday as children began shaving their heads…slowly overtaking the adults! We have stopped using sharp razors in dimly lit bars & moved to clippers on well lit stages. Brent has joined us some years, bald not from chemotherapy, but from shaving his own head for others. We have raised $3.5 million to fight childhood cancer. We have made a difference.
