On St. Patrick’s Day, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Bell Tower invites the community to take part in its “Brave the Shave” fundraising event to help fight childhood cancer.

During the March 17 event, volunteers who have solicited donations from friends and family will bravely receive a head-shave from licensed barbers in solidarity with the courageous children fighting cancer across the community. Those who prefer not to participate in the head-shave challenge can raise funds in another way or make an online donation to the Bridge To A Cure Foundation “Brave the Shave” fundraiser.

Proceeds from the event will benefit St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the nation’s largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants. In addition to providing the venue, Bell Tower is sponsoring family-friendly entertainment, children’s activities, and festive St. Patrick’s Day music. This event is free and open to the public; no pre-registration is required to attend. To sign up as a fundraising partner, sponsor, volunteer, or to make a donation, visit HERE.
