Shavin’ it off

On Saturday, nearly 230 people and 28 teams from Northport and surrounding areas came together to shave their heads for the annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation fundraiser at Napper Tandy’s Irish Pub, an event that raises money to fund cures for childhood cancer. As of Wednesday, participants raised almost $115,000 and counting to

fund research on childhood cancer and honor more than 60 local children who had cancer — some who did not survive. The foundation reports that four out of five children with childhood cancer survive, a ratio the group and event organizers hope to increase to five out of five. For more St. Baldrick’s photos, see page A12.
