The 18th annual Shave for the Brave event is on tomorrow.
Some students will be participating in a pre-event shave to kick things off.
Community members are invited to participate in the 18th Annual Shave for the Brave event on Friday, March 17, 2023. It starts at 5:30 p.m. at the Reno Ballroom on 401 N. Center St, Reno, Nevada.
Each year around St. Patrick’s Day, the non-profit asks the community to “Shave for the Brave” and go bald in support of childhood cancer research. In partnership with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, NNCCF’s annual Shave for the Brave events have raised over $3.3 million since 2006.
This year, the goal is to raise $150,000. They're already surpassed $100,000.
