HSA Gives: St. Baldrick’s Reminder

/in /by

Our HSA Gives/St. Baldrick’s event is fast approaching! Kids and parents are all ready for cooler, easier hairstyles for the warmer weather, so how about making a difference while you make a change?

You don’t have to shave your head (but it could be fun!).  You can also get a buzz cut or trim up to a cute bob and donate 8 or more inches of hair.  Or donate your husbands, brothers and sons to buzz their head!

Rock The Bald Event
June 23, 1-5pm
Elks Lodge, 30 Bissell St, Manchester
