Since most of the festivities at the St. Baldrick's event take place outside, we've been watching the weather — especially these random hurricanes popping up in the Caribbean. But it looks like we'll have the perfect weather for some old fashioned head shaving, if there can be such a thing.
The day's shaping up to be spectacular in many other ways. I just picked up an unbelievable gift basket generously supplied by my NJAWBO colleague Judy Bennett at Grove Baskets & Gifts. And big hugs to longtime client Nancy Quinn at Village Belle for donating a lovely Village Belle accessories prize pack. These and many other raffle prizes will be awarded during Saturday's event — and hopefully raise additional funds for childhood cancer research.
It's unbelievable how much effort goes into pulling off an event like this. Most of it is the work of just one dedicated guy — volunteer coordinator Kevin Kinney. His energy is amazing.
Read a shocking statistic yesterday — that a child is diagnosed with cancer every three and a half minutes. Let's hope that the efforts of St. Baldrick's and so many other dedicated organizations will soon make that horrible number history.
