Baseball team raising money for childhood cancer
Georgia Tech’s baseball team has joined forces
with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to raise money
to find the cure for childhood cancer. The Yellow Jackets
have agreed to shave their heads as a part of the St.
Baldrick’s event, setting the lofty goal of raising
at least $5,000 by March 17. They are asking for the
assistance in helping raise the funds.
For every $250 donated by fans over the next two months,
one player on the team will have their head shaved following
the Yellow Jackets’ game against Boston College
on St. Patrick’s Day. Donations can be made by
going to the St. Baldrick’s Web site (www.stbaldricks.org)
and clicking “find an event” to search for
events in Atlanta.
