Mt. Washington resident will be shaving his head on St. Baldrick’s Day
by 15211Advocate ~ March 7th, 2008. Filed under: Events.We received an email yesterday from Bill Toland, a resident of Mt. Washington, and he informed us that he will be shaving his head for children with cancer. Here is his pitch:
But I am going to shave it off. For money. For YOUR money. The way it works is, you give me money, 10 or 20 or 1,000 bucks or whatever, and I shave my head on March 15. The money goes to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a charity that raises money for children with cancer (the ritual shaving of the head is a tribute of sorts to the children, who lose their hair over the course of chemo and radiation treatments). Last year, St. Baldrick’s Day shavees raised $13 million.
He will be shaving the noggin’ at Claddagh Irish Pub in the South Side Works on March 15th. Learn more here.

I read about that on the Burg Blog but I didn’t realize he is a Mt. Washington resident. How wonderful that they do that, it’s a very worthy cause.
