Fundraiser to fight kids’ cancer at Hoboken pub March 11

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation will host fundraising event “Brave the Save” to fight kids cancer on Saturday, March 11 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., at Mulligan’s Pub, 159 First St.
Hoboken barber-coordinator, Nicole Appice Davis, returns this year to shave the heads of sponsored shavees who wish to show solidarity with kids and their families facing their cancer battles.
“It’s a cause that brings everybody together,” said event coordinator Jim O’Brien, of Hoboken who will “brave the shave” for the seventh time. “Think of what the kids and their families deal with each day against this enemy.”
Inspired by the story of a courageous 6 year-old boy who died of cancer seven years ago, O’Brien first brought St. Baldrick’s to Hoboken in 2011 as an offshoot of an annual St. Patrick’s Day party he and his buddies had hosted since college.
A total of $28,339 has been raised by the local events over the years.
There will be drink specials, and live music by Adameus Live, Neil Nathan, and Undercover.
The national St. Baldrick’s Foundation, established in 1999, has contributed more than $200 million to fight the scourge of childhood cancer.
Interested shavees, volunteers or donors are invited to go to: https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/kickkidscancer or contact O’Brien at JOBINHK@aol.com or (212) 781-8831.
