RBPD Hosts Head-Shaving Event For Captain's Daughter With Cancer

REDONDO BEACH, CA — The Redondo Beach Police Department is hosting a head-shaving event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 18, in honor of Captain Jon Naylor’s daughter, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

"As the family fights their way through this diagnosis and treatment, the Redondo Beach Police Department has partnered with St. Baldrick’s to host a head-shaving event," RBPD said.

Naylor's daughter Cait was diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma in November, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Donations start at $25 per haircut, and will go toward helping the Naylor family while also raising awareness to this type of cancer, the press release said. Plus, the Redondo Beach Police Officers Association and SPIDR Tech have pledged to donate $25 per police officer that shaves their head, according to St. Baldrick's, a nonprofit dedicated to childhood cancer.

"If you have ever dreamed about being a hero, then this is your opportunity," RBPD said. "We invite you to sit in the barber’s chair, don that cape, and in a blink of an eye become a hero for kids with cancer."

The event, at 200 N. Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach, is open to everyone who wishes to participate or donate.

Donations can be made on the day of the event or on the St. Baldrick's website.
