Sachem Comes Up Big On St. Baldrick's Day
Volunteers raise $43,000 for cancer research, hold mass head-shaving event at Sachem East.
Yesterday Sachem East High School held its now-traditional St. Baldrick's Day head-shaving event to symbolize volunteers' solidarity with cancer victims.
Between Sachem East and Sequoya's joint effort, the Sachem community raised more than $43,000 and more than 115 bold volunteers shaved their heads. Some of the more high profile shavees include Sachem East Assistant Principals John Galligan and Carol Todaro.
Since 2010, according to a district release, Sachem East has raised more than $125,000 and Sequoya has raised more than $100,000 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
