St. BaldRicks Foundation

Never heard of it? St. BaldRick's Foundation is a charity that raises money for research and awareness of Childhood Cancer. At each event, hundreds of volunteers shave their head (as children with cancer often lose their hair) and have friends and co-workers "sponser" them to raise money for the cause. Check out their site for more info at www.stbaldricks.org. Well, this year, one of Calvin Johnson Care Center's nurses participated. Not only did John participate and shave his head, but a long list of other employees supported him and the cause by donating over 800 dollars!! Blowing his goal of $500 away. Check out the stats here John's Shave. It was a wonderful event, and definately heart breaking and eye openning to meet some of the kids the foundation is involved with. I recommend others check out St. BaldRick's and look for local events near them.
