PHOTOS: The Faces of Childhood Cancer

Nearly 200 people shaved their heads on March 6 at Martin's East in Middle River to help raise money for The St. Baldrick's Foundation which helps fund research to combat pediatric cancers.

The people who shaved their heads were joined by nearly 800 other people at Martin's East. Along with the shavings, those in attendance enjoyed music, games, face painting and had the chance to bid on several prizes during a silent auction.

In all, the event raised more than $100,000 for St. Baldrick's. The event also honored 21 children that have or are currently battling cancer.

According to St. Baldrick’s, less than 3 percent of all cancer research funding allotted by the federal government goes toward childhood cancer research.

Since 2000, St. Baldrick’s has raised more than $90.6 million through more than 3,400 head-shaving events with nearly 147,000 people shaving their heads. This all benefits the 160,000 children that are diagnosed with cancer each year.

Here are some of the images from the event at Martin's East:
