How will you get involved with
Bald for Bucks?
I’m a parent, teacher or student connected to a local school who wants to go Bald for Bucks.
Who will you go Bald for?
Grandparents. Teachers. Children. Parents. Neighbors.
Just like you, we know so many people who have been personally affected by cancer. That’s why we stand in solidarity with them. The funds we raise together help advance research and programs that support patients and survivors at Roswell Park.
What is
Bald for Bucks?
Bald for Bucks started with a promise between a brother and sister. That one small act of love and compassion has grown into a head-shaving fundraising program that spans generations throughout our Western New York community.
There are several ways to
