Laughter and hilarity mingled with a sense of purpose to mark the annual Shave-a-thon at Santiago Canyon College, which supports the St. Baldrick’s Foundation for childhood cancer research. Nearly a dozen people had their heads shaved at the Nov. 25 event, raising $4,466 for St. Baldrick’s Foundation Bone Marrow Drive.
Jared Kubicka-Miller, professor and speech and debate coach in the Department of Communication, started the charity event in 2009 to honor his brother, Scott Buehler, who died while rescuing a cat from a tree. Buehler had shaved his head to help raise money for childhood cancer research through St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Kubicka-Miller created the event on the SCC campus to raise money and teach students in his Group Dynamics class how to organize a charity event. Students in his class have produced it ever since, raising approximately $70,000 for the charity.
