Volunteers brave the shave for St. Baldrick’s
By Bob Savage
Locals shaved their heads for a good cause on Saturday at Schafer’s restaurant in Port Jefferson, raising money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and research into childhood cancers.
Among those going bald were TBR News Media’s own Michael Tessler, who said goodbye to his curly locks.
