LTCC Fire Academy shaving heads at St. Baldrick's; Seeking donations

Students in Class 10 of the Lake Tahoe Basin Fire Academy are shaving their heads to raise money to find cures for childhood cancers during the annual St. Baldrick's Foundation fundraiser on March 5 at Heavenly Mountain Resort, and they are seeking the community's support.

St. Baldrick's is a volunteer-powered charity that shows solidarity with young cancer patients through annual head-shaving events around the world that raise awareness and money for cancer research.

Participating Class 10 cadets in the Lake Tahoe Community College program are trying to raise more funds than any other area fire agency involved in the event. If you would like to support them with a donation to St. Baldrick’s, visit the student's fundraising page at www.stbaldricks.org.

To make a donation another way, please contact Fire Academy Coordinator Leona Allen at (530) 541-4660 x554 for assistance in finding an alternate donation method.
