National Residence Hall Honorary at BGSU, worked to raise money for childhood cancer research through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.  On Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022, the Bowling Green community shaved their heads, cut their ponytails, donated, volunteered, and enjoyed themselves at the event. The Shave-a-Thon was hosted in the multipurpose room of the Bowen Thompson Student Union at BGSU and on Instagram live.

 “Our goal was to raise a total of $8,000 and we raised $8,765,” said Anna Gregory, director of the BGSU St. Baldrick’s committee. The event was a success with 18 heads being shaved and 21 ponytails being donated. The BGSU and St. Baldricks Foundations would like to thank Ambrosia Salon & Spa and our sponsors for helping make the event a success. You can still donate by heading to website below.
