Prospect High School will hold its second annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation fundraiser from
February 21 through March 23. St. Baldrick’s mission is to raise awareness and funds to find
a cure for childhood cancer. Prospect’s project will include three phases. In phase one,
7th-hour classes will collect money from Feb. 21 through March 16. The two classes that raise
the most money per student will win pizza parties. During phase two (March 19-22), students
and will be able to purchase St. Baldrick’s t-shirts for $10, with the option of having their heads shaved (with electric clippers) by students from the Empire Beauty school on Friday, March 23. (Students will need parent permission in order to get their heads shaved.)
Phase three will involve volunteer staff members getting their heads shaved at an April 5
all-school assembly. Last year’s campaign raised $2,500 for St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
