Unalaska, AK – Unalaska hosted it's first ever St. Baldrick's Day event in the Burma Road Chapel this weekend. Thirty-four community members shaved their heads to raise awareness of cancer and raise money to fund childhood cancer research. Ten of them decided to sign up on the day of the event. Fourteen community members volunteered to run the festivities.

Together the participants raised $24,239.87, some donated directly from a little girl's piggy bank. Event coordinator Brian Rankin notes that almost all of the money was from community members. KUCB/Ch. 8 telecast the event live and KUCB's Anne Hillman found out what was going on behind the scenes.
