Bluffton team to shave and fight childhood cancer

What may have felt like an unrealistic goal, to raise $2,500 in a month to support St. Baldrick's was achieved in less that a week through generosity and the power of a good cause and social media. What a way to start pre-season baseball.

  2. The annual Basebald event is a fundraiser where baseball players solicit pledges to shave their heads. The Bluffton team announced a goal of raising $2,500 for St. Baldrick's on the first day of pre-season practice.
