Student-Led Childhood Cancer Awareness Club Sponsors 4th Annual Head Shaving/Donation Event at The Steward School

For the fourth year in a row, Middle and Upper School students and teachers from The Steward School in Richmond put their commitment to helping others in action and on full display this January by participating in the school’s annual head shaving/hair donation event and fundraiser. This year’s event, which is annually organized by the Upper School’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Club, benefited the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation, Central Virginia’s largest and most comprehensive provider of support services for children with cancer and their families. Professional stylists from Sportz Clips at Gayton Crossing assisted with the on-stage activities during a student assembly that included 20 participants – 13 students and seven teachers. Twelve received a close, clean head shave and eight each donated enough hair to be used to make wigs to the organization Children with Hair Loss (www.childrenwithhairloss.us).

All total, $3025 was raised to support the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation. For more information about The Steward School, visit www.stewardschool.org. To learn more about the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation, visit www.askccf.org.
