Portland Fire Crew (Engine No. 14) is gearing up to participate in the 10th Annual St. Baldrick’s Event at Oaks Park on May 19, as part of an ongoing effort to raise funds to fight childhood cancer.Participates in the event shave their heads for two reasons: 1) To raise money for a cure and: 2) To stand in solidarity with the kids that do not have the choice to be bald.

“Our whole fire crew is shaving our heads for the cause, and we’re all trying to make a difference,” said Fireman and Camas resident, Aaron Gagnon. “… I have raised $385, including my own donation of $50 and donations from friends and family ranging from $10 to a whopping $200 from my buddy Mike Hill. I know we all get busy and get bombarded with emails and phone calls looking for donations, but please take a couple of minutes and throw a little money at this fantastic cause. It really is appreciated and all funds go to an absolutely amazing bunch of kids.”
