You saw it LIVE on CBS 21 News... Now check out these photos of local firefighters shaving their heads and facial hair for the Saint Baldrick's Foundation...
Myself and CBS 21 Photojournalist Frank Krepps getting ready to go LIVE outside the CBS 21 Studios in Harrisburg.
Chief Mark Simpson of the Camp Hill Fire Department was first in the chair. He raised nearly $2,000, which will help fund childhood cancer research.
The Chief shows he's more than happy to sport his new, sleek look!
Asst. Chief Trever Rentzel with the Manchester Union Fire Company may look a little nervous as our barber, Danny, eyes up his head of hair...
But its all for show... Trever has been shaving his head for St. Baldrick's for years!
Ryan Rodgers with Manchester Union Fire Company is the main organizer of the annual St. Baldrick's event at the York Expo Center. More than 100 firefighters will shave it all off on Sunday, April 13th, raising tens of thousands of dollars.
As you can see, he leads by example... shaving his head LIVE on CBS 21 News at 5:30...!
All of the previous shavings built up to our Grand Finale... Deputy Chief Dan Soulier of the Harrisburg Bureau of Fire raised more than $3,000 for St. Baldrick's...
...And his prize handlebar mustache sold for a whopping $1,500...! On the right is the owner of Tara Station, an Irish Pub located in downtown Harrisburg. His pledge to buy the Chief's mustache came with a condition... The mustache will be framed and hung above the bar for all to enjoy...!
Jaime Novinger of Service 1st Restoration and Remodeling also sponsored Chief Soulier, and happily shaves his head as a reward.
And here is the final result...! A clean slate, primed for growing!
Thanks to all the firefighters who made our CBS 21 St. Baldrick's Shaving Day a success!
