Proctor Academy hosted its third annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation Event on March 26 when 45 shavees had their heads shaved by 12 volunteer barbers in order to raise awareness of childhood cancer research and treatment options.

The 45 members of the Andover and Proctor communities joined forces to raise $19,031.94 (as of mid-April)! Fundraising for the event continues, and if you are interested in joining the cause, please visit StBaldricks.org/events/mypage/10985/2016 for additional information. A huge thank you to all who took part in this event, especially to organizers Chris Young and Tucker Prudden and their Proctor student group!
