The men of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will host the 9th annual St. Baldrick’s event on April 8 from 11:30 to 4:00 on the 91²Ö¿â campus.

Dozens of students have signed up to shave their heads to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, one of the most popular childhood cancer charities. The foundation has grossed $154 million in donations in 15 years. On average the Pi Kappa Alpha St. Baldrick’s event raises about $20,000 a year thanks to the help of generous donors from the Peoria area.

Peoria mayor Jim Ardis will deliver opening remarks at 11:30 and head shaving will commence immediately after. There will be grilled burgers and hot dogs for purchase. All proceeds will go to St. Baldrick’s.
