Team Brent's Big Event
Sunday, April 10, 2011
Head to Webster Bank Arena on Sunday to support Team Brent's St. Baldrick's Day Event. It's an inspirational day of family fun.
Hundreds of participants will shave their heads in exchange for donations towards cancer research. It's a simple concept, a fun time and a very effective fundraiser. Since 2000, the St. Baldrick's Foundation has raised over $87 million and shaved over 144,000 heads-- including over 12,000 women.
