St. Baldrick Candor is a family fun-filled day to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Over the previous 10 years, the St. Baldrick’s event has raised a total of $343,414. Even before the first razor begins buzzing to shave heads in late March, St. Baldrick’s volunteers in Candor are hosting events in the community.
St. Baldrick will host a “Doug’s to go” Fish Fry at the Candor fire station on Friday, February 7. Drop by the food truck from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for lunch or dinner.
The tenth annual St. Baldrick’s Shave-a-Thon and 5K run/walk will happen on Sunday, March 29 at the Candor Elementary School. Candor’s St. Baldrick’s volunteers have been busy organizing for the event since mid-November.
St. Baldrick’s team is also sorting through gently used good for the community Indoor Yard Sale which will happen in late February or early March.
And during the month of March, a can and bottle drive is scheduled. Look for collection wagons parked at the Iron Kettle Farm and Hi-Way Dairy Bar.
The main event kicks off Sunday morning, March 29 with a 5K run/walk that provides a tour of town. This year the race begins at 9 a.m. and then the Shave-a-Thon goes from 1 – 4 p.m.
There are many ways to participate in the event: sign up to be a shave; register for the 5K; or become a sponsor. The St. Baldrick’s organizers are seeking business and individual sponsors who, in return, gain fame on the back of the 5K T-shirt. They are also seeking donations of gift basket donations, raffle items, and food for the concession stand.
For more information about the yard sale or sponsorship, please contact Kelly at 607-972-4395 or [email protected] or Joan Bartlett at [email protected].
