CRYSTAL LAKE –– The Crystal Lake Kiwanis Club is sponsoring an opportunity to “Be a Hero for Kids with Cancer” at its upcoming St. Baldrick’s fundraiser.
Participants pledge to shave their heads in exchange for donations to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which provides grants to childhood cancer research experts, according to the foundation’s Web site, stbaldricks.org.
Head-shaving events generate money for research and provide a way for participants to show support for children undergoing cancer treatment, who frequently lose their hair due to the effects of chemotherapy.
Head shaving will be from 2 to 7 p.m. March 12 at The Salvation Army, 290 W. Crystal Lake Ave., Crystal Lake.
