Tulane medical students hold head-shaving fundraiser for cancer research

Several Tulane University School of Medicine students participated in the annual St. Baldrick’s Day event on Jan. 15 in the lobby of the Tulane Medical Center. The event is a head-shaving fundraiser that benefits St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the national, volunteer-driven charity committed to supporting research to find cures for childhood cancers. The students have raised over $7,000 for this year’s event. For more information on St. Baldrick's Foundation, click here
