Thanks From St. Baldricks

Is it drafty in here or is it just our new heads?

• St. Baldrick’s 2009 has come and gone for the CPD events, and participation was spectacular. For those not familiar with St. Baldrick’s, it is a fundraiser for childhood cancer research in which participants seek pledges to get their heads shaved or longer hair cut to be made in to hair for wigs for kids that lose their hair to chemotherapy. We grew to 268 shavees for 2009, thanks to all who signed up and of course to all the volunteers and hair stylists who helped make it possible. And thanks also to SCC for helping to get the word out.
  
  The totals for cash and checks brought in at the day of the event will be tallied by the folks at St. Baldrick’s over the next week or two and will be posted on the web site, but the preliminary totals look to bring us in at just about $100,000.00 raised, thanks to all who donated!
  
  It was great to see so many returning shavees as well as some new scalps, and we’re looking forward to next year’s event, look for news to start around November.
  
  Thanks again, your event coordinators,
