The event raises money for children battling childhood cancer.

Submitted by Elwood School District

For the last five years, the Elwood community has rallied together to support and participate in the Elwood St. Baldrick’s Foundation event, raising money for children battling childhood cancer.

In past efforts, the Elwood community has shaved over 500 heads and contributed more than $180,000 to the foundation. To continue the tradition, the Elwood Booster Club invites participants of all ages to attend the Elwood 2015 St. Baldrick’s Day Fundraising Event.
