Brave the Shave for St. Baldrick’s

On April 4th Platt Tech held a very successful St. Baldrick’s Day fundraiser!   We raised a total of $4,566 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.  This is our tenth year participating in this fundraiser and in our time, we have raised over $54,000 for the cause.  In over 25 years since their founding, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation has provided grants to research that has helped find a cure for Pediatric Cancer!  In fact, they have donated the proceeds from head shaving events like ours totaling over $340 million dollars.  All of the head shaving was performed by the Hairdressing Department under the supervision of Dept. Head Ann Watkins.  Thanks for all of your support for this great event!

A special thanks goes out Dan Quinn the organizer and catalyst behind Platt being involved in St. Baldrick’s Day. Thank you Mr. Quinn!
