Next Stop: Shaving Heads on March 7 to Help Cure Childhood Cancers
FEBRUARY 23, 2015, St. Louis, Missouri…The Monarch Firefighters Community Outreach Program is pleased to announce that Monarch firefighters and paramedics donated $6,500 to “No Woman Left Behind,” a non-profit group that helps uninsured and under-insured women who need mastectomy or prosthetic products.
Monarch Firefighter/Paramedic Mike Underwood said, “We raised the donation by selling our breast cancer awareness T-shirts. We sincerely thank everyone who supported this effort.” Ann’s Bra Shop in Chesterfield helped coordinate the effort.
The Monarch Firefighters’ next fundraising event is Saturday, March 7. A team of Monarch Firefighters and Paramedics will shave their heads in exchange for donations to raise money to help cure childhood cancers as part of a program by the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. This event will be at Helen Fitzgerald’s Irish Grill and Pub, 3650 South Lindbergh Boulevard, St. Louis, 63139.
Registration starts at 10:00 a.m. Shaving begins at 12:00 noon and continues until there are no more heads to shave.
“Our goal is to raise $6,000 for the kids,” Underwood said. For information or to donate, see the website https://www.stbaldricks.org/te…
