The Lake County Treasurer is joining with St. Baldrick’s and shaving her head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. She is joining in the efforts to raise money for cures. Will you make a donation? The challenge is $2500 to shave it all off. Anything you can donate will make a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. |
