FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Sponsors are needed for the 7th Annual Clips for Cancer event presented by Florida Radiology Consultants, which will anchor Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month in September. Clips for Cancer will be held Saturday, September 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bell Tower Shops.
This year's event theme is "Go Gold for Golisano" in recognition of the gold ribbon, an awareness symbol for childhood cancer. The entire community is invited to Go Gold and Fight Like a Kid, from sponsoring the annual Clips for Cancer event to braving the shave and fundraising or donating in support of Barbara's Friends – Golisano Children's Hospital's cancer fund.
Clips for Cancer features childhood cancer survivors and patients shaving the heads of community leaders helped to raise money and awareness, demonstrating that being bald is not a sign of weakness, but rather strength in the long fight through chemotherapy treatment. This year, the main event moves center stage at Bell Tower on Saturday, Sept. 21, with all the shaving happening at 10 a.m. inside Dave & Buster's. The day will continue with free family friendly activities, including games, animal encounters, first responder meet-and-greet with a touch-a-truck and tours of the Golisano Ambulance for the whole community. Sponsors can be featured on a Bell Tower "Go Gold" Shopping & Dining Discount Card, which will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting Barbara's Friends.
