From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 16, 2025, people will shave their heads next to the Brooklyn Bridge replica to help kids battling cancer.
“This event is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together, and we encourage everyone to get involved,” said New York-New York Hotel & Casino COO and President Mike Neubecker to News3LV. “Whether you're shaving your head, cheering on participants, or donating, every effort counts toward changing lives.”
The Las Vegas community keeps showing up strong for St. Baldrick's Foundation. McMullan's Irish Pub just raised $321,982 at their 2024 event, adding to their years of fundraising efforts for young cancer patients.
Attendance is free for the March 16 event, and anyone who wants to help is welcome. Some volunteers can shave their heads, while others can donate money to support this important research.
Guests can enjoy food, drinks, and live entertainment while watching celebrities helping with the clippers. Special event gear will be on sale all day.
