Credit Union "Braves the Shave" for Cancer Research
March 4, 2014
Bismarck, ND - More children are lost to cancer in the U.S. than any other disease; however, childhood cancer research funding receives only 4% of U.S. federal funding for cancer research. That is why the St. Baldricks Foundation was organized.
Last year,� First Community Credit Union organized a team that participated and raised money for Bismarcks annual St. Baldricks "Brave the Shave" event.� Team First Community raised over $2,400, putting the team in 9th place out of 24 teams.� The Bismarck event alone raised over $200,000 in 2013!
This year, First Community CU is once again participating in the event with four team members returning from last years team, including Derrick Becker, Frank Friese, Chris Masse, and Chad Schmidt.� The Bismarck "Brave the Shave" event will be held on March 14, 2014 at the YMCA located at 1608 N. Washington Street.� The shaving begins at 1:30 p.m.
