Mark Hegarty ’01

St. Baldrick’s began as a headshaving event, and ‘shavees’ ask friends and family to make donations ‘on their head,’ much like a charity walk. In return, shavees attend one of thousands of volunteer-organized events worldwide to have their heads shaved in solidarity with those fighting cancer. We joined 10 other shavees in March and raised almost $50,000 for pediatric cancer research.”
