The Keaton Raphael Memorial is currently recruiting participants to shave during their 8th Annual St. Baldrick’s Celebrations. The celebrations, which are scheduled to take place March 13 at Westfield Galleria in Roseville and March 15 at de Vere’s Irish Pub in Sacramento, are designed to raise funds to support childhood cancer research by recruiting “heroes” to shave their heads in return for pledges of financial support from friends and family members.

“It’s been an exceptionally difficult year for families with children who are fighting cancer. Diagnosis of cancers in children has not slowed along with the economy. Local families need our support and our commitment to find a cure more than ever before,” commented Robyn Raphael, founder and CEO of the Keaton Raphael Memorial. We encourage everyone to “be brave and go bald” in solidarity with children who are fighting this terrible disease.” 

Individuals who are interested in shaving must pre-register online at https://www.stbaldricks.org, select either the Roseville or Sacramento location, and start collecting pledges. Those who can’t part with their locks can still support the cause by making an online donation to the Roseville or Sacramento celebration or buy tickets to the Roseville after party “Baldy Bash” which starts at 5pm on Saturday, March 13th at the Westfield Galleria at Roseville outdoor promenade: go to www.childcancer.org
