Sacramento Restaurateurs Cooking Up Another "Hair Brained" Initiative, Closing Down "L" Street to Make the Capital Region #1 in the U.S. for St. Baldrick's and Child Cancer Research
Keaton's
Child Cancer Alliance, formerly known as Keaton Raphael Memorial,
keeps the pipes, drums, and clippers going, raising funds for pediatric
cancer research in a grand gathering organized by restaurateurs Henry
and Simon deVere and Patrick Mulvaney. This installment of the ongoing
duel between the deVere brothers and Mulvaney seeks to make northern
California this year's #1 market in the U.S. for raising funds and
awareness for child cancer research through the St. Baldrick's
Foundation. Once again, participants are leveraging social
media to inspire donations to their respective teams, Mulvaney's
"Sactown Baldies" and "Team deVere's Bald Crusaders." Running tallies
are kept and donations can be made throughout the month of March and all
year at www.Getbald.com.

WHY:

Everyone knows someone who has been impacted by childhood cancer. The
deVere brothers host this event in honor of their father, Dr.
Ralph deVere White, M.D., a Senior Advisor Emeritus with U.C.
Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Through their efforts, the
brothers have raised close to $2.0 million for cancer research.
Their passion continues to inspire celebrity head-shaving
participants, fuels the friendly
rivalry with Mulvaney, and could set northern California above
Chicago, Las Vegas, and all other St. Baldrick's regional
fundraising throughout the country.
