Mellow Mushroom of Hilton Head Island will host the fourth annual St. Baldrick’s headshaving fundraiser on Saturday, March 14 from 3pm -to 5pm. Joe DiNovo of Joe’s Barbershop will lead the team of Barbers shaving the heads of the Hilton Head area men, women and children, encouraging the community to support their action by making donations to their team.
In addition to the headshaving, the event will feature a proclamation from Mayor David Bennett, a silent auction and live music.
The fundraiser is organized by Terry and Cynthia Cermak, who started the event in honor of their son Henry. In 2013, St. Baldrick’s created a Hero Fund in his name: the Henry Cermak Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research. The Cermak’s headshaving events have raised over $50,000.00 for Henry’s Fund, and in July provided 50% of the funding for a research grant studying pediatric brain cancer treatments at St. Jude Hospital.
Volunteers can join a team or start their own team at: http://www.stbaldricks.org/events/hsc15. Merchants who wish to help sponsor the event can call 843-476-4768 or email henrys1ups@gmail.com.
