Bake held true to his word. On May 31, during the fun last day of school, Bake allowed the students of Stephanie Yanni's second-grade class to shave his head. Will Evenson got the first cut for bringing in $57 of his saved allowance.
"It was fun to shave his head and I want to help kids with cancer," a giggly Evenson said.
The class raised $137 - the highest amount of all the classrooms.
The classrooms raised $670 in all, in addition to an anonymous donation of $300 - all in change. Bake said he was extremely proud of the students and their teachers.
The NNCCF is an organization dedicated solely to supporting children with cancer and their families in northern Nevada and the eastern Sierra region. According to its website (www.nvchildrenscancer.org), since its inception in 2009, the foundation has helped approximately 300 families and provided more than $1.5 million in direct financial assistance.
