St. Baldrick's Foundation Shaving the Way

On March 11th Justin will team up with NetApp and the St. Baldrick's Foundation to shave his head in support of cancer research! The “shaving party” will begin at 3:30pm at the Public House in New York City.

The St. Baldrick’s foundation is dedicated to financing cancer research in kids and does so by hosting “shaving parties” where participants raise money to shave their heads in solidarity and empathy for children who have lost their hair to chemo treatment.

To date, over 106,000 volunteers have shaved their heads in solidarity with kids fighting cancer at more than 2,400 emotional events in 50 states and 24 countries in the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. The St. Baldrick's Foundation funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government, more than $12 million in 2009 alone.

NetApp has set a goal to raise $100,000 for this event. Follow the link below to support Justin and the 160,000 children around the globe who are diagnosed with cancer each year.
