St. Baldrick's Foundation

This email went home yesterday from Mr. McGuire: We are excited to host a St. Baldrick's event this year at York. The St. Baldrick's Foundation helps to support research for childhood cancer. We have staff and students ready to make this event memorable and successful for our school community. Since this is our 1st year holding our event, we have set our fundraising goal at $10,000. But we are very hopeful that we will be able to exceed that goal. Our own Mr. Doherty has laid out a challenge of $15,000 to shave his head. I believe those locks are worth every penny! Please take a minute to visit our page and consider donating for this worthy cause! Our event will coincide with a spring spirit week and conclude with a pep rally on March 24th. We will be shaving the heads of our top fundraising individuals and hopefully Mr. Doherty himself! I have faith in our community to come out strong for an amazing cause! If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Joe O'Malley at jomalley@elmhurst205.org or Mr. Drew McGuire at dmcguire@elmhurst205.org.
