All it took was a little off the top for Byers Gymnastics Center in Roseville, Calif., to raise $900 for childhood cancer research. Byers Roseville gymnasts pledged money if their coach, Travis Ralph, would shave his head at the local St. Baldrick’s Day event, part of a worldwide effort to raise money for childhood cancer research. On March 14, Travis was center-stage at the Galleria at Roseville, surrounded by Byers Roseville gymnasts, parents and hundreds of community supporters, as top-fundraiser Julia Endicott, Level 6 Byers gymnast, did the honors. Since 2000, St. Baldrick’s Day head-shaving events have raised more than $51 million for childhood cancer research to help the 160,000 children diagnosed with cancer every year. Travis proved that bald is beautiful -- especially when it helps kids battling cancer.
