Freshmen James Maki and Sean McGarry have declared Friday, April 27, to be St. Baldrick’s Day at Milwaukee School of Engineering. The two students put their very hairy heads together to organize a head-shaving event for their fellow Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brothers and MSOE students.
Maki and McGarry worked with members of the IE-340 Project Management class to plan and promote the event, which is designed to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The foundation funds childhood research grants across the country, and also locally at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Ten Milwaukee-area barbers from Supercuts are donating their time and talent to shave heads in the Multipurpose Room on the third floor of MSOE’s Student Life and Campus Center, 1025 N. Broadway. The shaving begins at 10 a.m. and Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity members will band together and lose their hair at 11 a.m.
