For the fourth-consecutive year the Associated Students of the College of Western Idaho (ASCWI) will host St. Baldrick’s Foundation fundraising events in which volunteers will shave their head to help raise money for childhood cancer research.
The fundraiser will take place at three College of Western Idaho (CWI) campus locations:
March 12, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Nampa Campus Academic Building
March 13, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Ada County Center
