SCPFD Firefighters Celebrate St. Baldrick’s Day



St. Baldricks 039

San Carlos Park Fire District Firefighters joined the FGCU community this afternoon at their annual St. Baldrick’s Day event. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a national foundation that raises money and awareness for childhood cancer research. Unfortunately, only 4% of federal funding is designated to research regarding childhood cancer; the St. Baldrick’s Foundation helps to close this gap through fundraising at events like those today.

 

Four San Carlos Park Fire District Firefighters joined together to raise money for this wonderful organization and because kids with cancer often lose their hair during treatment, the firefighters showed their support by shaving their heads voluntarily.
