The Sigma Chi fraternity at Centre College held a fundraiser recently for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. To raise funds, a group of fraternity members shaved their heads once certain monetary goals were met as curious onlookers donated money. The fundraiser was started by Sigma Chi fraternity member Gray Dickens who got the idea when attending a fraternity conference.

“There were a ton of bald heads walking around campus now,” Dickens said. “We did really well and really happy with results.”

The fundraiser more than doubled its goal of raising $1,000 for cancer research.
