Pete Carlson, son of former Eden Prairie Police chief Dan Carlson, is shaving his head again this year for an organization called St. Baldricks, and all the money raised goes to help research for childhood cancer. The “Shavees”, shave their heads in honor of the brave kids that very often loose their hair due to the treatments used.
In Fairbanks where Pete goes to college, the fire service is very active in this event, they are the main sponsor
and everyone in the fire service makes some sort of contribution to the cause.
Pete is an active member of the fire service in the Fairbanks area, working part-time for the Steese Fire Department, and wants to become a full-time firefighter at some point in the future. Pete is asking that you sponsor him, his team, or the event as a whole by donating a little extra money so that these kids get helped out. To help out, please go to www.stbaldricks.org and click on either the “Find a Participant” button on the top navigation bar, or the “donate now” button and type in either Pete Carlson’s name or Steese Fire Department (the team that Pete is on). Below is a picture of Pete at last year’s event.
Even with his head shaved he looks better than his Dad!
