St. Baldrick's

Friday I joined up with Ted from A Better Image Photogrpahy to photograph people getting their heads shaved to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation for childrens' cancer research.

This is the first I'd heard of this organization and I was pretty amazed at all the festivities going on at the event which took place on Colorado College campus downtown.


In addition to the head shaving, there was face painting and activities for the kids:

...and of course the kids loved watching 'daddy' lose his hair!

Each volunteer got to tell the audience how much they had collected in pledges to get their head shaved...some were well in excess of $1000!

The barbers & stylists even got into the fun...here's a 2 for 1 deal:

And here's Ted, working as dad and photographer all at the same time...superman!
