St. Baldrick's Head Shaving Event Happening Saturday in Yorkville
Come see the hair fly at the second annual event to benefit child cancer research.
This Saturday, hair will be flying at the Rosati's in Yorkville, 1985 Marketview Drive. But don't worry, it won't end up in your pizza. The hair is part of a fundraising effort for the St. Baldrick's Foundation to raise money for childhood cancer research in which candidates have their hair chopped off. "Since most people are sensitive about their hair, people will raise some amount of money to shave their head," said organizer Chris Cherwin. She added that in some cases that might be facial hair, as last year Yorkville's Mayor Golinski raised $500 and pledged to shave off his moustache. So far there are over 25 individuals who have pledged to shave their heads for the event with just over $3,600 so far raised for St. Baldrick's. It's …

Matt Lopez has had his head shaved six times to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation, which funds childhood cancer research.

Yorkville Mayor Gary Golinski and his mustache go way back. In fact, he's only shaved it off once in his adult life.
