To the Editor:

The Crystal Lake Kiwanis Club’s Santa Run for Kids was a very successful event last December that helped to benefit many local charities. Families were able to get involved in something healthy and have fun doing it together. Now is your chance to get involved again to benefit children all over the country fighting pediatric cancer.

This year, our club is holding its fourth annual St. Baldrick’s event at McHenry County College. Members of our club and the community will be shaving their heads on March 15 in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising money for childhood cancer research. I am honored to be a volunteer for this event for the fourth year and invite you to join us.
