St. Baldrick Event Shaves Heads, Fights Cancer

Donations fund childhood cancer research

On Saturday, March 28, from 3 to 5 PM in Proctor’s Farrell Field House, Proctor will host its second annual St. Baldrick’s Day event.

Like last year’s event that raised over $30,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, this year’s event is being organized by a group of Proctor students during Proctor’s four-day Project Period. Faculty leaders Chris Young and Alan McIyntre will help the students through logistical challenges, marketing efforts, and problem solving around the event.

Proctor encourages everyone in the Andover community to participate in the event, either by becoming a “shavee” or by donating to the cause. To learn more about how to get involved, visit StBaldricks.org/events/ProctorAcademy2015.
