Shelby Firefighters All Smiles after Shaving For St. Baldrick's Fund Raiser

Four Shelby Township Firefighters were among the 517 people who shaved their heads to raise money to help find a cure for childhood cancer.

In total, the Romeo St. Baldrick's event on March 10 raised $211,937. The team, representing the Shelby Township Fire Department, Local 1338 contributed to the total goal by raising $1,005.

"It was just so neat to see people from all over and come together to shave their heads, beards or mustaches," said Shelby Firefighter Steve Dettloff, who was the official/unofficial Shelby Fire photographer for the event. 

Detloff said the event was a blast, and most everyone was in great spirits, with live music, food and drinks.

As for Dettloff, he said he may just keep his new hair do, because it makes getting ready for work a whole lot faster.

St. Baldrick's event organizers continue to accept donations on behalf of Saturday's shavees, as the event came in just under it's goal of raising $250,000. To donate, click here.
