Shaving heads to benefit cancer research
The “brave the shave” event, created by the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, will take place May 2 from noon until 3:00 p.m. It will be held at the UNM Children’s Hospital outdoor plaza.
The idea the event was built off was to shave the hair off people’s heads to raise money for children’s cancer research.
In the United States today, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease, but something as simple as a haircut could make all the difference.
Chase Parker, assistant manager of the UNM hospital’s cafe, has been growing out his beard for well over a year now and plans to shave it off at the event.
If you wish to volunteer or donate at this year’s event, be sure to visit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation website.
