SHAVE YOUR HEAD FOR A GREAT CAUSE!

St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fund raising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family.

The St. Baldrick's organization has asked The Coast Guard Station to participate in their event again this year by raising money (on-line) and by attending the event and having our heads shaved. The contributions and head-shaving participation support childhood cancer research. Let's be sure to do all that we can to help raise money for this very worthy cause.

Please note that this is a family event and ALL are welcome to attend.
