Be a part of our community as we stand in solidarity with cancer patients. A small act can lead to big changes — so use your hair to show you care.
Make a promise. Make a statement. Make a difference.
Grandparents. Teachers. Children. Parents.
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.
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.

Get to know some of the incredible cancer survivors who inspire us to Go Bald.
When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it’s easy to feel helpless. But there are ways you can take action to let people living with cancer know you stand with them. The Lockport Police Department did just that this winter.
For Silver Creek social studies teacher Jessica Kardashian, advocating for cancer awareness and research has become a way of life. She actively seeks out opportunities to make an impact and instills that same drive in her students, too. That’s why she hosts an annual Bald for Bucks event.
Leeyana Cheek wants others to know they aren’t alone, especially when they’re hurting or going through an illness like cancer. That’s why she participates in Bald for Bucks. Read her story.
We appreciate your hard work, dedication and commitment to fundraise for cancer research! Continue to spread the Bald for Bucks mission and enjoy a small token of our appreciation.
