Why: When one of our own was diagnosed with neuroblastoma thirteen years ago, we started the “Brave the Shave” event to help find a cure. We have since continued the battle and established a cherished tradition among the school and community. We are a school comprised of 2,000+ students. Our own Warriors have been affected. Statistics show one in five children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive. Those who do survive often suffer long-term effects from treatment too harsh for their developing bodies. As the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants, St. Baldrick’s Foundation is leading the charge to take childhood back from cancer. We would love to have you come join us!
When: Friday, March 21, 2025. The event will start at 2:00 p.m.
Where: 802 Warrior Drive, Murfreesboro, TN 37128, Riverdale High School – Gymnasium
Who: Honored families (Sullivan), St. Baldrick’s shavees, volunteers, supporters (including Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office) and donors
