GHS Goes Bald on Thursday for St. Baldrick’s Foundation

Greenwich High School’s third annual head-shaving event is set for Thursday, March 19 and the Student Center will be buzzing from 11:30-1:30pm, not just with chatter but with barber’s electric shavers.

The event benefits St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which is dedicated to working with leading pediatric oncologists to determine the most promising research to fund, and to create funding priorities to make the greatest impact for children with cancer. The event is coordinated by Diane Fox and Kerry Gavin, and both students and staff will volunteer to have their heads.
