ICYMI: Mepham to host annual Chop Your Lock’s for Charity event

Wellington C. Mepham High School will host its seventh annual Chop Your Lock's for Charity event to benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation on Wednesday, March 15, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the South Gym.

“Participants can register to shave their heads in order to show solidarity for children who have lost their hair as a result of their battle with cancer, or they may donate eight or more inches of their hair for Pantene's Beautiful Length's Campaign,” said Kerry Dennis, who is one of the teacher organizers.

Since 2008, Mepham High School has raised more than $200,000 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
