Lake Tahoe Basin Fire Academy students are seeking support from the community for the annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation fundraiser, taking place March 5 at Heavenly Mountain Resort.

St. Baldrick’s is a volunteer-powered charity that is committed to funding research to find cures for childhood cancers.  To show solidarity with young cancer patients, St. Baldrick’s has an annual head-shaving event to raise awareness and money for cancer research.

LTCC fire academy cadets participating in the head-shaving event are trying to raise more funds than any other area fire agency. To support this effort, go online and enter “96150” in the search bar at the top right, and then choose “LTCC Fire Academy Class 10” from the list of participants.
