But another event set for the same day could have lifesaving potential.

The Naperville Knights of Columbus Holy Spirit Council #15073 will host a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, helping to raise money to defeat childhood cancers.

Set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 17, at the old Plainfield fire station at 15025 S. DesPlaines St., "shavees" will get their heads shaved in exchange for donations.

More than 30 volunteers are set to shave their heads in solidarity with kids with cancer, according to organizers.
