Annual Still Shave for a Cure at ATSU-KCOM raises $1,100 for St. Baldrick’s Foundation
Posted: April 19, 2023
A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (ATSU-KCOM) Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) chapter put on its annual Still Shave for a Cure event to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation April 4, 2023, in the Centennial Commons.
“St. Baldrick’s is a national charity foundation dedicated to curing childhood cancer, so we’re fundraising to help provide research dollars to them,” Austin Raj Watson, OMS I and president of SOMA, said.
This year, three people shaved their heads, one person received a haircut, and another got several inches cut off of their hair, which was saved in a bag for donation.
Watson was one of the people who had their heads shaved. He said he loved participating in the event, as well as planning the event.
The 2023 Still Shave for a Cure raised $1,100 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
