St. Baldrick's nets $16,000

The final count for the 2018 St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event at Colfax High School for childhood cancer research is more than $16,000 in donations. The goal was $15,000, set by student ASB leaders who organized the campaign. An assembly for head shaving was held April 19. It was the fifth time the event was held at Colfax.

The St. Baldrick’s program began in 2000 with the first head-shaving event in New York City. It has since funded $234 million in childhood cancer research grants.
