For one day of the year, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation is all about cutting hair for a good cause. And Friday, dozens of individuals stepped forward at Duke Children’s Hospital to go bald to raise more than $20,000 for pediatric cancer research.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation’s mission is to fund promising pediatric cancer research that can lead to new and improved treatments and helping cancer survivors live long, healthy lives.
