On Saturday March 15, 2008, Los Angeles Firefighters and Police Officers will be hosting their fifth annual combined St. Baldrick’s Event, and you are welcome to participate or cheer them on at a fun-filled family event in North Hollywood from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
- Free Pancake Breakfast (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM)
- KIIS-FM- Monster Energy Truck
- Providence Blood Donations
- National Marrow Donor Program
- Childwatch Registration
- Free photo and gifts for the kids!
- LAFD FireHogs and FireRods Display
- Silent Auction
Participants, or "Shavees" as they are known, will be collecting pledges from friends and family in exchange for shaving their heads. The bald heads signify solidarity with child victims of cancer, who often lose their hair while undergoing treatment.
Even if you choose not to shave, there is a need for general volunteers and supporters to help make the magic happen.
If this seems even remotely familiar - or you wonder why we are so passionate, please take moment to look at the single most visited LAFD blog post of all time
....and then, if you'd like to do something *really* special, in memory of someone *very* special, please click here.
