Fauber will crochet items, post them to social media, and sell for a suggested $3 donation.
The fundraiser runs from Saturday, April 1 through Friday, April 14. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3yY9suM.
Ace’s Wild St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event in Columbia, Ill. to raise money for children’s cancer research.
Organizers say that donations for this research severely lags that for adult cancers, since no one expects a child to have the disease. It all starts with a Bloody Mary bar. Then, there will be head shaving. Finally, Fresh Burn Band will close out the day.
