St. Baldrick’s Day The mission of the St. Baldrick's Foundation is
to raise awareness and funds to conquer Kids' Cancer by shaving heads on St. Patrick's Day.
As usual, we are supporting the ‘Yes Way, Jose!’ team …
Activities will take place at the Norfolk Sheraton Waterside from 10 am to 2:30 pm.
Our own Scott MacGregor will be there to be shaved after the St. Patrick's Parade. PLEASE support Scott in this worthwhile endeavour!
