Danbury PD Chief, Emergency Director, To Shave Heads For Charity

DANBURY, CT — Two of the city's top crisis leaders are shaving their heads for a good cause.

Matthew Cassavechia, Danbury’s emergency management director, and Police Chief Police Chief Patrick Ridenhour have signed on to the annual St. Baldrick's head-shaving event to help raise money and awareness to fight childhood cancer.
