Can shaving your head conquer kids’ cancer? We certainly think so. On March 17th, Accent of Style and the Anchorage Firefighter’s Local 1264 are teaming up to host a fun-filled event to fight kids’ cancer … one bald head at a time.
Between now and then, you can donate (with no risk to your lovely locks) any dollar amount to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. After the 17th, your money will be given in full to provide research grants enabling doctors and scientists at over 200 institutions to pursue the most promising new cures for childhood cancer and to help make clinical trials available to more children than ever before. St. Baldrick’s is the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research, having already raised more than $69 million though events just like ours.
Every three and a half minutes another child is diagnosed with cancer. Every year, thousands of volunteers (like you?) get their heads shaved in honor of those little ones fighting for their lives. Are you willing to join the battle by going under the razor? If so, visit http://www.stbaldricks.org and click “Sign Up (Register for your local event!)” to join the other Accent of Style shavees. Click “Be a Shavee” and go from there. Next, start asking your family and friends this important question: “How much would you donate for childhood cancer research to see me shave my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer?” We’re confident your companions will respond generously.
March 17th is the big day. Join us in the salon from 5-8pm for food, fun, facials, a fire engine, Kaladi Brothers coffee, and much more. Give us a call at 561-3434 if you have questions!
Thank you one and all for being a hero to kids with cancer. Your support will help us continue to fund important life-saving childhood cancer research.
In service,
Marc McCarthy
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation
This is an interesting and original idea for helping to provide care for children with cancer. I will mark my calendar to make trip to the salon on St. Patricks day.
Thank you for being a hero for kids with cancer.
