There will be an event supporting St. Baldrick’s
Foundation at Apex High School on Friday, May 2. It is being organized by Tim Kane who is a
member of the organization.
St. Baldrick’s is an organization working
to end childhood cancer with 82% of donations going towards finding a cure. The event will be a place for people to meet
up in support of children who have cancer and their families. There will be music and Kane is working with
a radio station to come to the event. Students
and staff can also register to be a shavee.
A “shavee” is someone who will show his/her support by shaving his/her
head. So far 14 people have registered
to be a shavee including both teachers and students. Some of the registered shavees include Kane,
Coach Kilby, and Matt Wight. Wristbands
will be on sale at school for $2.
This is the first St. Baldrick’s event
at Apex High. Kane decided to start this
event because he knows students who are going through chemotherapy and wanted
to show them that they had support. The
event will be held in the junior parking lot from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event is free, but donations are greatly
appreciated.
Donations can be made at the event’s website, www.stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/11257/2014
or brought to Pod K. So far $2,755 of
the $5,000 goal has been raised.
