Yorktown, Virginia - 1
st Advantage Federal Credit Union will host a signature head shaving event to benefit the St. Baldricks Foundation. St. Baldricks is a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research. The event will take place at the 1
st Advantage Federal Credit Unions Kiln Creek Branch on March 14, 2015, where more than 15+ volunteers will shave their heads in solidarity with kids with cancer and raise money to
Conquer Childhood Cancers!
Why all the shaved heads? Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes, and one in five children diagnosed in the U.S. will not survive. With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldricks Foundation volunteers, supporters and donors are needed to continue the battle against this devastating disease.
