Brave the Shave Madison

press release: The Coopers Tavern will host a St. Baldrick’s Foundation signature head-shaving event to raise funds and awareness for lifesaving childhood cancer research on Saturday, Sept. 23. With a goal of raising $20,000, 22 local participants will go bald to support the Foundation’s mission to take childhood back from cancer.

Andrew Schmidt, a childhood cancer survivor himself, is organizing the head-shaving event this year, where his mom will be shaving her head for a third time. For more information, check out The Coopers Tavern event page.

September is Childhood Cancer Awarness Month. This month alone, over 25,000 children will be diagnosed with cancer worldwide. Those who do survive often suffer long-term effects from treatment too harsh for their developing bodies. Every kid is precious and deserves a future without cancer. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is leading the charge to take childhood back from cancer. Donations raised at events like this support research that gives kids their best chance at growing up cancer free.

Event will start at 10 a.m., and end at 4 p.m. Head-shaving will begin at 10:15 a.m.
