Washington Post, November 12, 2009

An event where 80 people had their head shaved to raise money to enhance cancer research and treatment at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, raised more than $200,000 for the facility. The goal was to raise enough money to make the hospital a comprehensive cancer center. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis is the only pediatric cancer center to be given the designation by the National Cancer Institute.
