Is this so cool:
Chicagoans celebrate St. Baldrick's DayMarch 12, 2004 — St. Patrick's Day might not be until next Wednesday, but the festivities have already begun. There will be parties all weekend and the city's official parade kicks off at noon Saturday. Friday, for some people, St. Patrick became St. Baldrick. "Bald" as in shaved heads for charity.
People are getting their heads shaved to help fight kids cancer. All afternoon at Smith and Wollensky restaurant on State Street volunteers offered up their heads.
Five-years ago in New York St. Baldrick's raised $17,000. Now it's worldwide and should pass $5 million in total donations.
Here's a page of last year's "Shavees."
Is this a great country or what?
