Fight Cancer By Shaving Your Head

ST. CLAIR SHORES, MI — If shaving your head bald would help find a cure for childhood cancer, would you do it? Organizers of a fundraiser to combat the dreaded disease are hoping many people will on Sept. 23 at Buffalo Wild Wings in St. Clair Shores. Running from noon to 4 p.m., funds raised will go to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which has granted hundreds of millions to fight childhood cancer.

“We’re hoping to shave 200 heads and raise $200,000,” Kevin Danaj, a co-organizer of the event, said. “It’s a goal we know we can get to. If we can’t get to it this year, we’ll get to it next year.”

“At the event, they plan to have 10 stations set up to shave heads under a large tent set up in the north parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings. Each shave takes about eight minutes. Across the street in the grassy lot just north of the restaurant, there will be a tent where the children’s activities and bounce house will be located.”
