The benefit supported the Addison Jo Blair Foundation in Elizabethtown and the St. Baldrick's Foundation. District staff members participated by shaving their heads or wearing wigs while seeking donations.
On Saturday morning, the Addison Jo Blair Foundation posted on Facebook that money donated during the benefit will go toward children and their families dealing with cancer, as well as research into medicines to treat it.
'We are so proud of everyone who stepped up to brave the shave and raised money for this cause that is so dear to our hearts!' Members of the nonprofit wrote.
More information about childhood cancer can be found on the Addison Jo Blair Foundation and St. Baldrick's Foundation websites.
