St. Baldrick’s Event: Head Shaving and Fundraising
Several UNC physicians, administrators, patients, parents and friends had their heads shaved to the cheers and encouragement of a large crowd. Music by Tom Maxwell, father of patient Esten Maxwell, followed the hair elimination event.
Dr. Stuart Gold, chief of the division of pediatric hematology and oncology and program leader for UNC Lineberger’s pediatric oncology program, worked with the St. Baldrick Foundation to organize the event.
