DeForest Police Officers Shave Heads for Childhood Cancer Research

On March 17th, several members of the DeForest Police Department have joined forces with the DeForest Fire/EMS Department to shave their heads to help support the St. Baldricks Foundation in raising money to support childhood cancer research. We set a goal of $5000 to raise. Not only did we reach that goal, we blew it out of the water!! Our latest figures are over $22,000!!! Donations are still being accepted.
