Join in the St. Baldrick's Fundraiser at American Tavern in Loganville

From 3 - 8 p.m. today, Saturday, March 16, 2013 - caring folks are gathering at the American Tavern in Loganville for a St. Baldrick's Fundraiser to help "Conquer Kids Cancer."

Each volunteer and shavee who raises $50 will get a t-shirt and raffle. The prizes in the raffle include a large screen TV, a Playstation 3 and gift cards.

There are also games for the kids - jumping castles, face painting, etc. There will also be a Madden 2013 tournament.

According to the St. Baldrick's website, head-shaving events began as a challenge between businessmen with just one event in 2000 to 1,290 events in 2012. The purpose is to raise critical funds for childhood cancer research. These headshaving events take place in pubs, restaurants, schools, sports events, churches, parks, malls, military bases, firehouse and many more places. The head shaving is symbolic in solidarity with cancer patients who often lose hair during the treatment.

Come out and enjoy the event in Loganville this afternoon. Shave your head if you dare, but if not - enjoy the event and help raise funds at the same time.
