St. Baldrick's Day 2005
From March 17, 2005:
In the search for a cure for childhood cancer, volunteers
again
shaved their heads at the event dubbed St. Baldrick's Day. The buzz-cutting
marathon in South Bend, IN, which occurred Thursday, March 17, at
Rocco’s Style Shop on N. Ironwood Dr. in South Bend, Indiana, coincided with
St. Patrick’s Day.
“Baldness can be drafty, but it’s a visible reminder of the sacrifices cancer families make,” said Chuck Bueter, an organizer of the local event.
To contribute online, please visit our St. Baldrick's web page.
“We
welcome your donations , your hair, or your compliments on how good we look with no hair,”
said Mike Takach of Rocco’s Style Shop. This
is the second year Rocco’s Style Shop has stepped up to support the St.
Baldrick’s Day Celebration. Images from 2004 are below.
Every year
12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer, which remains the number-one disease
killer of children in the United States. The
primary beneficiary of the monies raised via St. Baldrick’s Day Celebrations
is the CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation. Preceding 2005, over
8,000 shavees – including 400 women – have shaved their heads for the
international event, raising a total of $7 million dollars.
