St. Baldricks

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone here ever been involved in a St. Baldricks fundraiser?

I am having my head shaved on a stage next Saturday and my social anxiety is starting to kick up. I managed to raise a decent amount of money so I am feeling great about that, I would just like to know what the actual event entails. Anyone done this already? Anyone else participating this year?

I have participated before. It was actually a lot of fun. My social anxiety was bad the day before and during the day leading up to it. This was in 2003 I think and we had about 20-25 "shavees". When it was my turn, I sat in the chair and got clean shaven. The worst part of it for me was the fact that when I was done, the lady put something that felt like Wild Turkey on my scalp. I assume it was some sort of after shave. Afterwards I got a giant green leprechaun hat. I will try to find a pic.

Where are you doing it at? How many participants? I forced myself to do it and just kept telling myself it was for a good cause.

Yeah I just sat down in an actual barber chair and got shaved while people giggled and clapped. There weren't that many spectators and there seemed to be a lot of distractions, to the point that people weren't entirely focused on me. There was some media there snapping pictures.

St Baldricks?
