In remembrance of a 23-year-old firefighter who died from a rare childhood cancer last year, the Collingswood Fire Department is sponsoring an event to raise money for cancer research on Sunday.
The event is one of more than 300 events nationwide where residents are called to shave their heads to help raise money for St. Baldrick\’s Foundation, a nonprofit organization that started in 2000.
Volunteers are recruited to have their heads shaved in public in return for pledges of financial support.
The event will beat the Collingswood Grand Ballroom at the Scottish Rite Auditorium, 315 White Horse Pike, Collingswood. Registration begins at 11 a.m. and shaving starts at noon on March 18.
