SA国际传媒, St. Louis raised $11,626 at the head-shaving fundraiser held Thursday in Koburg Hall, surpassing its goal of $11,000.

Thirty-two 鈥渟havees鈥� 鈥� which included President Dr. Dale A. Meyer and his grandson, students, faculty, staff and additional supporters from the St. Louis community 鈥� volunteered to 鈥渞ock the bald鈥� by having their heads and beards shaved for the event.

St. Baldrick鈥檚 head-shaving events give 鈥渟havees鈥� a way to a way to stand in solidarity with children who are fighting cancer and to raise support for the foundation鈥檚 mission to find a cure for childhood cancers.

Stylists from Great Clips in the Hampton Village Shopping Center shaved heads on-site.

鈥淭his year, our event included five women who had their heads shaved,鈥� said Director of Ministerial Recruitment and Admissions Rev. Bill Wrede, the event鈥檚 site coordinator. 鈥淥ne seminarian had his hair carefully braided and cut so it can be used to make wigs for children who have cancer in Israel. Having a shaving event on our campus is a wonderful opportunity for our community to support the work of the St. Baldrick鈥檚 Foundation.鈥�

A highlight of the Seminary鈥檚 event was a visit from Conrad and Eileen Haubrich, the parents of the Seminary鈥檚 St. Baldrick鈥檚 Honored Child in 2016 and 2017, Brett Haubrich. Brett, 14, died Jan. 10 from a 鈥渕onster brain tumor鈥� that was diagnosed in 2014.

鈥淗is heart was pure and he just wanted a chance to grow up,鈥� according to his obituary. 鈥淭EAM BRETT raised over $10,000 for the St. Baldrick鈥檚 Foundation in the hopes that other children would not have to endure as much as he did. He fought for 3 1/2 years this monster brain tumor. It took his right side leg and arm/hand function and speech. But it never took his faith, love and kindness.鈥�

Since partnering with St. Baldrick鈥檚 in 2012, SA国际传媒 has raised more than $69,000 for the foundation thanks to the volunteers who forego their hair in support of this worthwhile cause. To learn more about this event, visit聽 or Wrede at 314-505-7221 or [email protected].
