Oh yes – bald headed men are S-E-X-Y!!

And even more so when they – and women too – are going bald to help raise money for kids with cancer.

This weekend is the 6th annual St. Baldrick’s hair-raising event for children cancer research. The Rose City Rollers are donating a portion of the proceeds from their bout on Sat. to St. Baldrick’s – and a couple of the girls are shaving their heads at the event. Then on Sunday the Barracuda downtown turns from a frightening meat-market pick-up joint into a festival family-fun atmosphere with the highlight being more than 100 people getting their heads shaved in support of these kids and raising money for research.

My friend’s dad is one of those getting his head shaved in support of a little boy named Gabriel. We joke that he doesn’t have much hair left to shave, but that all 12 strands are going. He volunteers with the Children’s Cancer Association and is close to a lot of these little kids. It’s a pretty cool thing.

There are fun activities for kids and families on Sunday, so if you’re looking for something to do with the kids…take ‘em to Barracuda (how funny is it to say that?!) And help the Portland St. Baldrick’s team get to their goal.
